| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 41.824593 N, 71.40338 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The phage was isolated from damp soil found under the bushes on the north side of Everett-Poland House in Keeney Quad. It had not rained for several days, so this spot was ideal because it still held residual moisture from the last rain. The temperature was approximately 85 degrees Fahrenheit and the depth of the sample dug was 2 inches deep. |
| Naming Notes | Awesomesauce is truly an awesome phage, and it is bit saucy. I wanted my phage to feel empowered by its epic name. |
