Sequencing Complete?No
Sequencing FacilityUniversity of Pittsburgh Genomics and Proteomics Core Laboratories
Genome length (bp)Unknown
Character of genome endsUnknown

Characterization
ClusterUnclustered
Subcluster--
Lysogeny NotesBecause the plaques are cloudy and turbid, I infer this phage is going through the lysogenic cycle, not the lytic cycle. If it were going through the lytic cycle, the cells would completely burst, leaving a much clearer plaque.
Annotating InstitutionUnknown or unassigned
Annotation StatusNot sequenced
Plaque NotesSmall, turbid plaques with one general morphology. Icosohedral capsid head shape.
