| Detailed Information for Phage Plaqccine | |
| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Quinn Kensey and Miles Baltagi |
| Year Found | 2014 |
| Location Found | Spokane, WA USA |
| Finding Institution | Gonzaga University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | Unavailable |
| Discovery Notes | Partly Cloudy, 12.7°C 3 cm deep moist, sandy, dark black soil Shaded under tree |
| Naming Notes | We hope that our bacteriophage will be used as a vaccine for antibiotic-resistant bacteria; hence, we came up with the name Placcine. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | K |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Cluster Life Cycle | Temperate |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | The plaques formed by Plaqccine have diameters ranging in size from 2-3 mm. The plaques are turbid, indicating that Plaqccine is a temperate phage. Plaqccine is from the k-cluster because our phage did not grow on the k-lysogen smeg. Plaqccine requires 4-7 days to grow to an adequte size and population to study. |
