| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 37°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 45.38959 N, 75.6377 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Discovery was made in Kilborn Gardens in moist and damp soil which had fertilizer and other organic contents. Found at 23°C. Genomic DNA was sequenced on a ONT Minion, R10.4.1 chemistry. The longest sequence read was 51,079 bp with 81% query cover, 99.15% identity to BxB1 (A1). |
| Naming Notes | I named the phage Ibrahimica as a playful twist on my own name, if bacteria get infected, they might as well know who found their attacker. The “-ica” ending makes it sound more like an official member of the phage world. |
