| Discovery Notes | Found in the morning under a rose bush & in a grassy area in student's backyard. The soil was moist due to the rain from the day before. Additionally, the soil had a slight sandy texture and was very thick, resulting in a large pellet. Dogs are frequent inhabitants in the backyard and both areas had insects. May have had fertilizer in either area. |
| Naming Notes | Named after the location it was found and that our phage was very stubborn during one of our experiments and it was almost like a wrestling match to get it discovered, hence, Bushinator. |
