| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 39.996944 N, 83.015278 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected from dry dirt beneath a bed of mulch at the base of a tree. The sample was collected at a depth of 3cm in relation to the top of the dirt layer. The sample location was next to a roadway and a walkway and near a building. |
| Naming Notes | A science fiction novel "Xenocide" by Orson Scott Card. In the novel there is a virus named Descolada that threatens the survival of a colony of humans. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Lysogeny Notes | Because the plaques are clear throughout with very little gradation at the edges, Descolada was considered to be a primarily lytic phage. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | Average plaque size with 48 hours of incubation was 1mm diameter during streaking. This increased to 2mm diameter with 72 hours of incubation. Plaques were clear throughout, had no bulls eyes, and had well defined edges. |
