| Discovery Notes | Isolated by: Dominic Garza, Michelle Zorawik
An enriched culture was prepared by combining 15 mL of soil with 25 mL of PYCA broth. The bacterial strains of A. sp., A. globiformis, A. sulfureus and A. atrocyaneus were then added in equal concentrations. The enriched culture was incubated at 30℃ for 48 hours with shaking. After filtering with a 0.22 µm filter, the sample was plated on PYCA plates with 2X PYCa soft agar using the standard pour plate method. |
| Naming Notes | The name is a direct reference to a song on Nicki Minaj’s 2009 mixtape titled ‘Beam Me Up Scotty’ which was reissued in 2021. |
