| Discovery Notes | -Discovered in a moist bank of a canal leading into a creek.
-Removed vegetation to expose soft soil, with green moss overgrown on the surface.
-Runoff from canal comes from storm drain systems within residential area.
-Canal leads out into OSO Creek with high vegetation and then runs out into Corpus Christi bay.
-Construction 25m from original isolation site.
-Weather conditions: Partly Cloudy, Breezy, est. Temp 95F
-Water conditions: Green, Slow current and Visibility 1/2ft to 1ft .
-Wildlife: Small schools of mullet, mosquitos, and common insects found around river banks in S. Texas. |
| Naming Notes | -Nanosmite's name derives from two meanings.
-Nano is to described the unit of measurement to determine the Phage's size.
Smite- meaning to destroy, was named bases on the a highly active lytic cycle. |
