| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Radhika Patel |
| Year Found | 2017 |
| Location Found | Philadelphia, PA USA |
| Finding Institution | Drexel University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 80°C |

| Discovery Notes | The sample was collected on 10/5/17 around 1 PM. The soil was found at a depth of 3 inches. The approximate temperature was 80 degrees Celsius. The sample was collected behind the Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building of Drexel University. |
| Naming Notes | The phage name came from simply integrating my two favorite animals: giraffe and turtle which makes "gurtle". The idea of "phertile" came because I was attempting to incorporate the "ph" in "phage". Fertile spelled with a ph gave "phertile". The name is ironic because giraffe and turtles cannot physically mate and if they did, they probably would not produce fertile offspring. |
