Discovery NotesIsolated by TAs Dominic Garza and Michelle Zorawik

An enriched culture was prepared by combining 15 mL of soil with 25 mL of PYCA broth. The bacterial strains of A. sp., A. globiformis, A. sulfureus and A. atrocyaneus were then added in a ratio of 1:5:192:588 respectively. The enriched culture was incubated at 30℃ for 48 hours with shaking. After filtering with a 0.22 µm filter, the sample was plated on PYCA plates with 2X PYCa soft agar using the standard pour plate method.
Naming NotesThis phage was named in honor of the discoverer’s cat, Moo. She has many different nicknames, but MooKitty is the most used.
