| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Arthrobacter globiformis NRRL B-2880 |
| Found By | Ibrahim Muhammad |
| Year Found | 2024 |
| Location Found | Oakbrook, IL United States |
| Finding Institution | Benedictine University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 22°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 41.83 N, 87.98 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | My soil didn't have the nutrients required to create phages with my host bacteria, thus I adopted a phage. The weather was chilly when the adopted soil was collected. The soil contained worms and looked rich. There were also roots in this soil. |
| Naming Notes | My first phage name was taken, and at the time I wanted to live in a utopia, thus I chose this name. |

| Annotating Institution | Benedictine University |
| Annotation Status | Being Annotated (Expected completion by 5/1/2025) |
| Plaque Notes | My phage measured at 0.1 cm or 1 mm. This phage had a clear edge and a clear center making it a lytic phage. The TEM image helped me classify my phage as a Siphoviridae. This is due to the flexible tail and an icosahedral head. |
