| Discovery Notes | This phage originates from the same sample as Lumalee (found by Harshini Dinesh & Shreya Paruchuri, 2023). The silly thing about is that their portion of the sample produced a phage while ours didn't, but later, ours proved to be more successful. In Parachuri's words, it 'recognized its mother'. This entire debacle has proven to have many jokes created in its expense so far ;) |
