| Discovery Notes | Soil was collected outside a store in Downtown Dahlonega on September 9th at 2:37pm. It was 81° F and it had rained a few days prior. The weather presented patchy clouds but mostly consisted of sunny weather. The soil was very dark and was a host to many worms under the thin layer of mulch. |
| Naming Notes | The name 'Aught' was given to this phage because the professor told us that we could name it pretty much anything at all. So that is exactly what happened. Aught means ‘anything at all’. |
