| Characterization |
| Cluster | M |
| Subcluster | M1 |
| Cluster Life Cycle | Temperate |
| Lysogeny Notes | Plaque morphology indicates a lytic life cycle. However, the presence of an integrase gene is an area of interest. Further investigation using bioinformatics indicates that this is a remnant integrase, indicating that it could have recently evolved from a temperate phage. |
| Other Cluster Members |
|
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | In GenBank |
| Plaque Notes | Plaques are round and clear with an average diameter of 2mm. The size range is 1mm to 3mm. |
| Morphotype | Siphoviridae |
| Number of Genes | 139 |
| Number of tRNAs | 16 |
| Has been Phamerated? | Yes |
