Detailed Information for Phage PhesterPhotato
Discovery Information
Isolation HostMycobacterium smegmatis mc²155
Found ByAlivia Colgan & Aubrey Neary
Year Found2023
Location FoundNew Oxford, PA United States
Finding InstitutionSaint Joseph's University
ProgramScience Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science
From enriched soil sample?Yes
Isolation Temperature37°C
GPS Coordinates39.83976 N, 77.0523 W Map
Discovery NotesExtremely rural location. No roads nearby and closest trees are approximately 12 meters away. Soil was collected from a garden bed. 80% humidity at time of collection. Sunny weather conditions.
Naming NotesThis soil sample was collected from the discoverer's father's garden. Specifically, the bed of soil that it was collected from previously grew potatoes. As a young child, her father always joked that if she were a boy, she would have been named "Fester." The name chosen combines these two ideas with the addition of "Ph" for phage. Therefore, the name of this phage is Phester Photato.
