| Detailed Information for Phage Vegrandis | |
| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Kassandra Quiroga and Danielle Salazar |
| Year Found | 2016 |
| Location Found | Corpus Christi, TX USA |
| Finding Institution | Del Mar College |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Unknown |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 27.715 N, 97.418 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Since we had so many failed attempts with the soil samples on campus we used a soil sample from Kassandra's backyard. In her backyard, there are plenty of plants and foliage where phage can be easily found. |
| Naming Notes | We named this phage Vegrandis (meaning small or tiny in latin) because of its extremely small plaques. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | When looking at the plaque morphology of our phage, distinguishing whether the phage is lytic or temperate takes a bit of effort because of its considerably small plaque diameter. We have determined it is a lytic phage. |
