| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 |
| Found By | A. Tonsho, R. Date, B. Oliveira, A. Vo |
| Year Found | 2025 |
| Location Found | Amherst, MA United States |
| Finding Institution | University of Massachusetts Amherst |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 42.38933 N, 72.52855 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Discovered within a grass patch by the W.E.B Du Bois library in an area of high foot traffic. Within the same patch there is a sewer drain, tree, and fire hydrant. The soil sample was muddle upon collection and contained plant matter and some small rocks. |
| Naming Notes | We settled on the name "Prosciutto" as we were all brainstorming names from our favorite foods. We thought it was pretty unique as other phages in the database had variations of what we were previously planning. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | Plaques were around 1mm in size each during isolation and have a clear halo morphology. We found that due to a large phage size, during spot titering, each dilution yielded single circular plaques of uniform size. |
