| Discovery Notes | Phage was isolated from an environmental soil sample, which was taken from the compost bin at University of California-Santa Cruz: Life Labs on a warm afternoon. Sample was collected April 9, 2018. |
| Naming Notes | Name of the phage "Evol" is a shortened form of evolution, simply came about because the plaques for this phage uniformly changed morphology a handful of times in response to some lab contamination (a plated dilution would have no halos, then halos the next round, then none again a couple passages later, etc.) |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | A |
| Subcluster | A2 |
| Cluster Life Cycle | Temperate |

| Plaque Notes | Plaques are fairly sizable and appear on lawns of M. smegmatis in less than 24 hours, even for plated dilutions as low as 10^-5. In presence of additional unknown bacterial contamination other than M. smegmatis, plaques would develop a halo morphology and retain it for at least a week. |
