| Discovery Notes | Soil sample was collected from a bare patch in my front yard. Soil was fairly dry and dusty (lots of fine particles), containing some plant roots from nearby weeds and grasses. Phage was initially isolated on an equal-parts mix of four different Arthrobacter strains (A. globiformis B-2979, A. pascens B-1814, A. globiformis B-4425, A. humicola B-24478). After initial purification, the phage was found to plaque only on A. pascens 1814 A and A. globiformis B-4425. Subsequent stages of purification were done only with A. pascens B-1814. Prior to naming, this phage was designated “S4.1” throughout isolation and purification. Isolated in the lab of Dr. Nic Vega. |
| Naming Notes | This phage was isolated from soil collected in the front yard of the house I have been living in for the past year. I’ve enjoyed living in this house a lot, in part because I have shared it with my roommate’s husky, Rocco. He's a good guy, but WOW does he shed a lot of fur. There were at least a few Rocco hairs in the soil I isolated this phage from, and so I’m naming this phage for him, and also because I’m a fan of the Roccoco (more commonly spelled “Rococo”) style of art and design. |
