| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 |
| Found By | Devon |
| Year Found | 2022 |
| Location Found | Amherst, MA United States |
| Finding Institution | University of Massachusetts Amherst |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 42.375472 N, 72.505739 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was taken in the yard of a house situated on a heavily trafficked road. There are a couple of trees in the yard, but most of it is grass and asphalt. |
| Naming Notes | The phage was named after Jonathan Jacobo who is the main antagonist of the 2004 film Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. Our group wanted a name that was unique, but easily identifiable. Our phage acted like a "monster unleashed" in the sense that is decimated the host bacteria! |
| Sequencing Information | |

| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | Most plaques have the same morphology, some have a smaller radius, but all are circular in shape. They present as rings, and are consistent in their presentation. The burst of the phage appears to leave a little bit of the host bacteria creating the ring effect that we described. The average radius of the plaques are 2 x 1 mm and the areas the phages were sampled from are translucent. |
