Finding InstitutionUniversity of South Florida
ProgramScience Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science
From enriched soil sample?No
Isolation Temperature32°C

Discovery NotesConditions upon discovery: 32 degrees Celsius, damp/wet mushy soil that received little to no light, humidity at 60 %, time of collection at 2:19 PM

This phage was located beside a storm drain and the combination of lack of sunlight and the recent rainstorm had left the soil extremely damp.
Naming NotesPerkūnas is the name of the Lithuanian God of thunder and storms. Being that I found this phage by a storm drain, I found this name fitting. The Lithuanian origin was chosen because I'm 25% Lithuanian.
