| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 |
| Found By | Huda Mansoori |
| Year Found | 2025 |
| Location Found | Saint Louis, MO United States |
| Finding Institution | St. Louis Community College |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 25°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 38.570361 N, 90.424282 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | This phage was isolated on September 5, 2025, from a soil sample collected under a tree near STLCC Meramec, approximately 2–3 inches below the surface. Following enrichment and spot testing, the phage consistently displayed a clear, lytic plaque morphology on the host bacteria lawn. Lysate Titer was determined by calculation from the spot titer results. |
| Naming Notes | I came up with the name by combining a nickname of mine with my sister's and the last digits of the years we were born in |
