| From enriched soil sample? | Unknown |

| Discovery Notes | Soil sample was collected roughly two centimeters below the surface of the ground. There were no stray pieces of grass in the sample, however one rock was identified and separated from the sample prior to its integration with phage buffer. Purkinje is a siphoviridae bacteriophage featuring a icosahedral capsid with a diameter of roughly 50 nm. The tail of Purkinje is roughly 300 nm long. Based upon a restriction digest and subsequent gel electrophoresis of Purkinje DNA, evidence supports the conclusion that Purkinje is a novel Gordonia terrae bacteriophage, as there is little overlap in present bands. |
| Naming Notes | The name of this phage is based upon the branching GABAergic Purkinje cells found within the cerebellum of the human brain. |
