| Found By | Samantha Hoggett |
| Year Found | 2021 |
| Location Found | Corpus Christi, TX US |
| Finding Institution | Del Mar College |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 28°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 27.71 N, 97.32 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil was harvested from the grass in front of Bay Hall at the Texas A&M Corpus Christi Campus. The ground was wet because it had rained in the previous 2 hours. |
| Naming Notes | I discovered this phage on my first attempt to isolate a phage from the environment so I used my lucky number 33. This phage was the ghost of lab because it was very temperate. After the 24 hour incubation this phage is like a ghost on the plate. Longer incubation times were required to visualize the phage plaques. |
