| Detailed Information for Phage Mangethe |
| Discovery Information |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | THEMBA ZWANE |
| Year Found | 2015 |
| Location Found | DURBAN, South Africa |
| Finding Institution | University of Kwazulu-Natal |
| Program | Mycobacterial Genetics Course, Durban, South Africa |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 37°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 29.8675 S, 30.9808 E Map |
| Discovery Notes | The Soil sample was collected at the University of Kwazulu-Natal at Westville campus, opposite the Microbiology undergraduate laboratory. next to the environmental undergraduate lab. |
| Naming Notes | The phage was name after My Last name Is Zwane So naming the phage after myself “Mangethe” was very Important , clan names are family names which are considered more important than surnames among Zulu people, each Zulu person can trace their family history back to a specific male ancestor. Hopefully i'll use my new phage "Mangethe" to trace back some of the phages which are closely related to it.
