Discovery Notes | Contagio3 is possibly a mutant phage of Vitas. Vitas was discovered by Katarzyna Waniolka and then gave up for adoption to a classmate to work on it. The Contagio3 phage has much longer tail than Vitas, but very similar morphology in shape and size of the head to Vitas. |
Naming Notes | Contagio3 is possibly a mutant phage of phage Vitas due to being adopted from Katarzyna Waniolka (Kasia) after Vitas was purified. Classmate working on Contagio3: "I adopted it from her phage Vitas therefore I feel as it should be named with something with adoption in the name." |
