| Detailed Information for Phage UPTowers | |
| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Gordonia terrae 3612 |
| Found By | Pragosh Saini |
| Year Found | 2018 |
| Location Found | Pittsburgh, PA USA |
| Finding Institution | University of Pittsburgh |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 40.44277 N, 79.95683 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | This sample was collected from a flower bed near the enterance of Litchfield Tower C at Litchfield Tower Complex at the University of Pittsburgh. The soil was dry, covered with mulch, and and decently filled with flowers. |
| Naming Notes | I chose this name because this is the place where I discovered my bacteriophage, near the entrance of Tower C at The Litchfield Tower Complex at the University of Pittsburgh. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Sequencing Facility | University of Pittsburgh Genomics and Proteomics Core Laboratories |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Lysogeny Notes | This phage appears to be lysogenic, because my phage has morphologically turbid plaques. However, a lysogen test needs to be done in order to verify this. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | My plaques are very small (around 0.5 mm in diameter), circular, and morphologically turbid. Note: The Phage Morphotype could not be determined because there was over-staining on the EM grid. This means that I could not see the tail of my bacteriophage so I could not determine if my bacteriophage is a myoviridae, podoviridae, or a siphoviridae |
