JBechelli	Our school is pilotting the program this year before officially applying to join the SEA-PHAGES. The M. smegmatis that we currently have is NCTC 8159 [Cornell 3] or 19420 from ATCC. I know the program uses M. smegmatis mc2155 for most of the hosts. Does anyone have any experience using other strains? Our budget is limited and if I don't have to purchase the mc2155 strain it would help us out significantly. Thanks, Jeremy
