| Lysogeny Notes | GalaxyEater exhibits notable temperate characteristics. The longer latency period, turbid plaque edges, and small burst size all support this conclusion. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | Latency period: The relatively small plaque size suggests a longer latency period, meaning the phage takes more time to lyse host cells. Plaque shape: Plaques are circular with clear centers and turbid edges. Burst size: The small plaque diameter also indicates a likely low burst size. |
