Hi all,
There are (were) 2 strains of Arthrobacter globiformis from NRRL at Pitt that got distributed as A. globiformis NRRL B- 2979 SEA. They are A. globiformis NRRL B- 2979 SEA and A. globiformis NRRL B-2880 SEA. It is believed that one of the errors occurred in Spring shipments of 2019. However, we can't be sure, so we are asking that all A. globi strains be tested.
Both strains have been sequenced and primers are designed to detect each strain. Protocol is attached here.
First step is that if you have A. globiformis at your institution, please verify which one you have using the attached protocol.
Second step, check phagesDB that all phages found on that strain are entered correctly. If not please make changes. If the number of phage hosts to be changed is small, use "Modify Phage" to correct. If you have many phage hosts to correct, you can send Dan (dar78@pitt.edu) a message to get the entries changed in bulk.
Please send an email to inof@seaphages.org with your questions.
Thanks!
