| Detailed Information for Phage Jabiru |
| Discovery Information |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Joe Skibbens |
| Year Found | 2014 |
| Location Found | Palo Verde, Costa Rica |
| Finding Institution | Lehigh University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Unknown |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 10.4 N, 85.32 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | This sample was taken from a vast wetlands environment. The soil had been recently exposed by the water receding and was loamy and moist. The wetland was brimming with flora and fauna, probably an indicator of rich soil. |
| Naming Notes | Named after the Jabiru stork, indigenous to the area in which this phage was found. The Jabiru is one of the largest birds in Central and South America. |

| Plaque Notes | Jabiru creates plaques about 2mm in diameter after 24 hours (closer to 4mm after 48 hours). The plaques are turbid with a bulls-eye clearing in the center (about 1mm in diameter). Typically as the plaque expands the turbid ring grows outward while the clear center remains the same size.
It should be noted that certain factors (potentially the thickness of its host's bacterial lawn) can cause it to form clear plaques of the same size. |
