| Detailed Information for Phage London |
| Discovery Information |
| Isolation Host | Arthrobacter globiformis NRRL B-2880 |
| Found By | Jasmae Flowers |
| Year Found | 2019 |
| Location Found | Chesapeake, VA United States of America |
| Finding Institution | Virginia State University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 36.78 N, 76.275 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | I adopted the phage that I used while I was conducting my experiments from my classmate Demesha because I did not discover any phage of my own in the soil samples that I collected. The sample was collected in the front yard of her home in Chesapeake, Virginia. The temperature was 76 degrees Fahrenheit, the humidity was 72%, and it was a cloudy day.
-This phage was further characterized by graduate student, H. L. Hatke (2021)
-Confirmed to infect A. globiformis str. 2880 and NOT str. 2997 in June 2023. -A.R.Beyer |
| Naming Notes | The name of my phage came from a list of potential children names that I keep in my notes on my cellphone. I choose the name London, because London is the name that I want to name my future child and my phage is kind of like my child. |
