| Discovery Notes | This bacteriophage was isolated in an less traveled area on the campus of Johns Hopkins University. This soil sample was retrieved from a depth of approximately 3 centimeters. The sample was retrieved on 8-27-14 @ 3:06 EST. The approximate air temperature was 31 degrees celsius. The soil sample was reported to be moist upon collection. |
| Naming Notes | This plaque was named after a wise man named Russ Hughes. He was our TA for the semester and his quote was "Don't Worry" and thus, the phage DontWorry was born. |

| Plaque Notes | This plaque exhibits a very distinct circular shape. It is typically larger than most other morphologies typically seen and has an average diameter of 2mm. This phage can be found to sometimes form small "sub-clusters" In which the plaque size is as small as a pinprick. However, this occurrence was relatively small and these "pinpricks" have been tested extensively and has been found to be the same morphology. |
