| Detailed Information for Phage Fosterous |
| Discovery Information |
| Isolation Host | Gordonia terrae 3612 |
| Found By | Rafael Alexandre |
| Year Found | 2017 |
| Location Found | Pittsburgh, PA USA |
| Finding Institution | University of Pittsburgh |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Unknown |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 40.4439 N, 79.9561 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil that Fosterous was found in was in muddy and wet. This soil was in a flower bed and was mixed with fertilizer, mulch, and leaves. It was a 60 degree Fahrenheit afternoon. |
| Naming Notes | Since I adopted this phage, it is a "foster" phage, hence "Fosterous". |
