| Isolation Host | Gordonia terrae CAG3 |
| Found By | Hannah Nicole Miller |
| Year Found | 2017 |
| Location Found | Cullowhee, NC USA |
| Finding Institution | Western Carolina University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 0.3 N, 0.15 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Took five tries to successfully isolate my phage. My final attempt worked from enrichment found in the chicken coop of Full Spectrum Farms (Bag #6). This enrichment allowed for me to isolate both Gordonia Terra and Microbacteria Foliorum. I chose to work with Gordonia. |
| Naming Notes | Prefix came from ESPN. I always wanted to modify this and name my first child Espen. Suffix came from the color green. I chose this because my agar plates repeatedly got contaminated and had a green hue to it rather than the pinkish-orange tint that it is supposed to have. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | Plaques were not isolated to a single type of plaque, but four plaques. Although this is strange my phage is pure. I know this based off of EM images the morphology of my phage was constant with same range in head and tail size. I also had to do 3 purifications before I moved on to further experiments. |
