| Detailed Information for Phage OnePunch | |
| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Armando Ramirez and Benjamin Thanh |
| Year Found | 2024 |
| Location Found | Henderson, NV United States |
| Finding Institution | University of Nevada Las Vegas |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 37°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 35.991389 N, 115.104167 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was obtained from plant soil that was potted outdoors in the heat of Las Vegas, Nevada in early September. |
| Naming Notes | The name for this phage came from a similar appreciation for the anime One Punch, that the scientists involved with this phage's discovery share. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Lysogeny Notes | Most of the plaques isolated were lytic in nature. Very few expressed lysogenic characteristics. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | The desired plaque was unfortunately not isolated. The desired plaque was higher in concentration than the other plaque populations. Isolation from these plaques, resulted in the discovery of multiple phage colonies. Phages with long tails akin to Siphoviridae, and Icosahedral and Filamentous bacteriophage. |
| Morphotype | Siphoviridae |
| Has been Phamerated? | No |
