| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Olatunde Adesina and Farai Tshililiwa |
| Year Found | 2025 |
| Location Found | Washington, DC The United States of America |
| Finding Institution | Howard University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Unknown |
| Isolation Temperature | 37°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 38.92336 N, 77.01965 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil was slightly damp as it rained earlier. The phage was found on Howard's Yard, adjacent to the Carribean tree. The collection site was underneath a tree. The temperature was 75 degrees Fahrenheit on September 9th, 2025 at 2:32 pm. |
| Naming Notes | We found two phage types after doing enriched isolation. We named the smaller plaque morphology Harry Photter, and the larger morphology Ron Pheasly. Why did we choose these names? We chose these because Farai wanted to name his phage Anakin, because our Phage is the chosen one (According to Farai). However, Anakin was taken, so he settled for Harry Photter. I followed suit with Ron Pheasly, as the phage's friend. |
