Detailed Information for Phage QBert
Discovery Information
Isolation HostMycobacterium smegmatis mc²155
Found ByHannah Marie Youngwirth
Year Found2012
Location FoundLa Jolla, CA USA
Finding InstitutionUniversity of California, San Diego
ProgramScience Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science
From enriched soil sample?Yes
Isolation TemperatureNot entered
GPS Coordinates32.8 N, 117.2 W Map
Discovery Notes10/2/2012, 8:30 am
Compost Soil, Approx. 2” deep
Temp: 80° F, 40% Humidity
La Jolla, CA
Moist compost early in decomp process, large zucchini leaves and other plant pieces still intact mixed among woodchips, soil was warm which reveals the process of decomp, in contact with ground soil, open system
Naming NotesNamed from a poll I ran with my family-one coined the name QBert from the 70's video game, because the shape of the main character and my phage are very similar.
