| Found By | Lonika Oodhrajh |
| Year Found | 2018 |
| 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 | 29.816889 S, 30.941889 E Map |
| Discovery Notes | This soil sample had been enriched for 5 days, plated out on the 5th day, incubated for 2 days and then showed plaques on the morning of the 3rd day. |
| Naming Notes | This phage formed really tiny plaques, hence the use of Mini in its name and Lon comes from the founder of this phage. |
