Sequencing Information
Sequencing Complete?No
Genome length (bp)Unknown
Character of genome endsUnknown

Characterization
ClusterUnclustered
Subcluster--
Lysogeny NotesA lysogen test was attempted, however the resulting plate after serial dilutions spotted onto a spot test showed plaques on the phage buffer square. Therefore, results are ambiguous: difficult to tell if plaques on the plate are due to the potential source of phage in the buffer or due to my own lysate.
