| Lysogeny Notes | When examining the restriction enzymes that reacted with our phage DNA via gel electrophoresis, the only restriction enzyme to cut the phage's DNA was SalI. SalI only produced cuts in the DNA at approximately 6,000 base pairs and below. There was a high concentration of phage DNA in the samples with the following restriction enzymes: ClaI, EcoRI, HindIII, and SalI. BamHI and HaeIII had a lower concentration of phage DNA due to them having darker columns in the gel. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | oWhen looking at our TEM image, Our phage has a small head (50 nm) and a long tail (220.83 nm), totaling 270.83 nm. It appears to be part of the siphoviridae family due to its long tail. |
