| Discovery Notes | This mycobacteriophage was isolated from dry and grainy soil. It is a Siphoviridae and a temperate phage. |
| Naming Notes | SmallDandelion comes from the fact that the shape of the phage resembles a dandelion when it is ready to release its seeds in the fall, with the head looking like the fluffy cloud of seeds and the tail looking like the stem. The first part, small, refers to the fact that the phage itself is extremely tiny. |
