| Detailed Information for Phage Derson | |
| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Rhodococcus equi NRRL B-16538 |
| Found By | Derby Effie Addison |
| Year Found | 2023 |
| Location Found | Grand Rapids, MI United States of America |
| Finding Institution | Calvin University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 42.93444 N, 85.58646 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected from a bush adjacent to KHVR Dorm (Calvin University), near a path leading to the BB/BV Parking lot. The soil sample was damp and contained fragments of dead earthworm and decomposed leaves. |
| Naming Notes | Origin is a combination of the first and last three letters of the founder's first and last names respectively. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Lysogeny Notes | The clear plaques with smooth, well-defined edges indicate that the phage completely lysed the bacteria in the infected region. Hence there was no state of lysogeny. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | The plaques were clear and had a diameter of about 0.8mm. Small circular plagues with smooth and well-defined edges confirm that the phage is lytic. |
