Discovery NotesPhage adopted from Mason Tomko.

Soil was collected from a location behind a Waffle House in Bowling Green, KY. Soil collected from a site near a roadway and railroad track, near a small shed behind the restaurant. The area had visible debris.

Phage Djoodi (Tomko) and Anstig(Ganesh) were isolated from the same enriched sample.

Soil sample was moist and clay-like. It was collected at 6:09pm on September 19th. 510ft elevation. When collected, it was 82ºF and sunny.

During the isolation process, 10 microliters of 1 millimolar calcium chloride was added to each dilution. The incubator was at 37 C for approximately the first four weeks, and 30 C for the remaining eight weeks.
Naming NotesNamed after the character Birdperson from the show Rick and Morty.
