| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Former names | FatCat |
| Found By | Jack Carter, Sarah Grout |
| Year Found | 2018 |
| Location Found | Boulder, CO USA |
| Finding Institution | University of Colorado Boulder |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 16°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 40.007139 N, 105.268306 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Found in the shady, damp NW corner of Baker Hall on University of Colorado at Boulder. Sample consisted of the lower layer of mulch underneath tanbark. |
| Naming Notes | We named our phage FatCat for its large plaques and because of the seemingly bipolar nature with which it changed plaque morphologies, behavior akin to that of a cat. |

| Plaque Notes | We saw varied plaque morphologies throughout our experiments. While obviously temperate in nature, in many instances the plaques appeared lytic. These events appear to correlate with he temperature and age of our samples prior to plating, however nothing is conclusive. Data was collected from each experiment, including source age in incubator or refrigerator, and what the sample was taken from (I.E. Lysate or plate scrape). |
