| Discovery Notes | The soil was collected from a soil bed on the chapel side of the Cathedral of Learning. The weather was relatively cold. (approximately 40 degrees)The soil was collected at 40 degrees 26'44" N 79 degrees 57'8" W, 238 degrees SW Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania |
| Naming Notes | The phage name "Sciavo" was dervied from my last name "Sciavolino". I picked this name to mark my name on the PHAGES program. |

| Plaque Notes | Phage Sciavo consistently showed two morphologies. One of the morphologies consisted of 3mm oval-shaped, foggy plaques indicating a temperate phage. The other morphology was about 1mm circular-clear plaques indicating a lytic phage. The possible cause of these two varying phages morphologies is a mutation in the genome that causes the lytic phage to sometimes appear temperate. |
