Our phages

This is the list of bacteriophages isolated from soil and water by undergraduates in the Tarleton State University SEA-PHAGES course in Stephenville, Texas. It has 75 phages found from 2017 to 2025. The 16 phages from 2017 were isolated on Mycobacterium smegmatis; from 2018 on, the lab has used Microbacterium foliorum, the host for 59 of them. Each phage has its own entry below with its host, the year it was found, the Texas county it came from, its PhagesDB record, and its genome announcement where one has been published. For how these phages were found, purified and prepared for sequencing, see phage discovery. The genome papers are also listed under publications.
