Mycobacterium virus Jeffabunny explained

Mycobacterium virus Jeffabunny is a bacteriophage known to infect bacterial species of the genus Mycobacterium.[1] [2] It was discovered by Jeffrey Rubin in 2008[3] in a Howard Hughes Medical Institute funded lab as part of SEA-PHAGES. It was taken from surface soil in a planter, in the shade of a non-redwood tree at Merrill College found infecting, specifically, Mycobacterium smegmatis.[4] [5] [6]
