Discovery NotesMiniMac was discovered beneath a small tree in a flowerbed found in the car park of the finance and administration department (above the cafeteria) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. The soil sample appeared light in colour and relatively dry which could be owing to the lack of rain in recent weeks. The phage plaques were visible on the agar plates approximately 24-36 hours after plating, and appeared first following a spot test of the environmental sample's filtrate.
Naming NotesThe name of this mycobacteriophage originated from my surname being McCaffrey. My mother - Sarah McCaffrey - is known by her close friends as Mac, this filtered down to my nickname being little Mac. MiniMac, therefore, being the logical name for the newest and smallest addition to the family.
