| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Gordonia terrae CAG3 |
| Found By | Chase Johnson |
| Year Found | 2020 |
| Location Found | Manhattan, KS United States |
| Finding Institution | Kansas State University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 24°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 39.1933 N, 96.5837 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Soil sample was from the surface of a muddy, active flowerbed in direct sunlight. Little sand with small bits of decomposing mulch present. |
| Naming Notes | A friend of mine calls people "nerd" as a friendly joke, and one day I taught him how to write in Katakana script for Japanese. He attempted to spell "nerd" but what he created, Nerudzu, had no meaning at all and was untraceable back to being what he was trying for. The gibberish he made became an inside joke that we laugh about from time to time. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Lysogeny Notes | No growth on patch assay. After rounds of isolation, the isolated phage appeared small without the presence of mesas, proving to be different that the phage observed upon discovery in the spot test. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | Spot test from an enriched sample, each spot was a bulls-eye. A spot was visibly cleared, but the center had grown back bacteria in a mesa, leaving only a clear ring to be observed. |
