| Discovery Notes | The sample was collected from a flower box near Clark Park in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The soil was dry and the soil taken was about 10 cm below the surface. |
| Naming Notes | I chose the name Jumpman for my phage because it is a Myoviridae so it has a contractile tail. The contractile action reminds me of jumping, and my favorite basketball player is Michael Jordan, who's logo is known as the jumpman. |
