| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 |
| Found By | Diego Gonzalez and Abrielle Butler |
| Year Found | 2025 |
| Location Found | Philadelphia, PA United States |
| Finding Institution | Drexel University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | Unavailable |
| Discovery Notes | The soil was obtained from a flower bed next to the sidewalk on Drexel University's campus, in a park. The soil was dry when we took the sample, and there were nearby trees and grass which provided organic material to the area. The sample was processed following the SEA-PHAGES procedures to isolate the Drexalyte phage. |
| Naming Notes | Inspiration for the phage name, Drexalyte, was taken after the phage's place of discovery at Drexel University. The '-lyte' is supposed to be inspired from lysate, as the phage can produce high quality lysate when doing the isolation process. The Drexalyte name combines both the location but also the biology and reflects work that is done in the lab. |
