| Detailed Information for Phage Jacque | |
| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Microbacterium sp. ISAT203 |
| Found By | Andrew Bohnslav |
| Year Found | 2021 |
| Location Found | Harrisonburg, VA United States |
| Finding Institution | James Madison University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 23°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 38.422014 N, 78.877511 E Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was sourced in a townhome complex in Harrisonburg, VA. It was found near a bush and other shrubbery, so there was potential for that to have an affect on the soil around it. It was dense and hard packed, almost like small rocks, however it dissolved once shaken around in the lab. |
| Naming Notes | The inspiration I took for my phage name is from the French naval officer, Jacque Cousteau. |

| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | The plaques produced by the virus Jacque were erratic and volatile. They easily were contaminated or somehow not cultivated properly. The best plate I had had 3 groupings of plaques, close enough to be uncountable, and 2 isolated plaques in another section. The 2 main clusters measured 3 and 3.5 mm across, the 2 individual plaques measured 2 and .5 mm across. They had similar shapes but of varying sizes. All were relatively clear with little clouding. |
