| Discovery Notes | This phage was found near the laboratoy soil, the soil that it was extracted from was moist and dark. The colonies were so small and grow after a 24hr incubation at 37C. It is location 3A on the lysate prepared |
| Naming Notes | The name of this phage comes directly to my own name Zakhe meaning 'make'. This phage is morphologically different compare to other phages that were isolated as it had a prolate head and tail. the code 101 means that it usually have a spot that include plaques inside a rare feacture in the immunity test. Therefore its name is Zakhe101 |
