| Discovery Notes | Soil was collected from the North Dekalb Mall Community Garden at the outskirts of a vegetable patch in which squash and a few other crops were growing. Soil was rich and loamy, likely commercial agricultural soil. Phage was initially isolated on an equal-parts mix of four different Arthrobacter strains (A. globiformis B-2979, A. pascens B-1814, A. globiformis B-4425, A. humicola B-24478). After initial purification, the phage was found to plaque only on A. pascens 1814 A and A. globiformis B-4425. Subsequent stages of purification were done only with A. pascens B-1814. Prior to naming, this phage was designated “S11.3” throughout isolation and purification. Isolated in the lab of Dr. Nic Vega. |
