| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 |
| Found By | mpercac,peldredge,zsu,hdo |
| Year Found | 2024 |
| Location Found | Amherst, MA United States |
| Finding Institution | University of Massachusetts Amherst |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 42.39087 N, 72.52575 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The sample was obtained near the side of a pond around vegetation which included long and short grasses and plants. It was also along a walking path with a lot of stones. The dirt is slightly moist and a dark brown color with a grainy texture. The GPS coordinates where the soil was obtained was in the Amherst area at the Campus Pond. The area of Amherst has a lot of nutrient rich soil and farmland where crops such as oats and barley grow. This gives potential insight into more about the location where the phage was adopted. |
| Naming Notes | The phage name that our group chose is Woodsen. We came up with this name from the dental instrument consisting of a two ended instrument one end being a spatula and the other end being a condenser thus being a woodsen. The instrument is used in general dentistry for composite fillings, it is a very versatile instrument used for packing and shaping a composite filling. |
