| Discovery Notes | This phage was isolated on M. smegmatis stlr02. It hails from the grounds of the University of Pittsburgh's Sutherland Hall and was found in moist, mulch-like soil that contained many bugs. The soil was also cold and very dark brown. A layer of wood chips was above it, and the general area had many coniferous trees. |
| Naming Notes | My cat of about 16 years is named Kiwi. Her name resulted from her small size as a kitten; when curled up she resembled a kiwi fruit. Perhaps this mycobacteriophage will prove similarly small relative to its peers! (Update: It didn't.) |
