| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected near a flower garden, it was cloudy and 70 degrees. I adopted this from Alison Hoke's soil sample and original plate. |
| Naming Notes | I chose to name this star trek, as Ali and I had decided together to name hers Captain Janeway following the idea of mystery presented by the phages and the urge I have to explore and understand my phage, similar to Captain Kirk. |

| Plaque Notes | There were two phages from the sample Ali collected. She collected the smaller plaque and named it (Captain Janeway) and I collected the larger plaque, which became my phage. Originally I thought I had 2 morphologies on my plaque, but I didn't after multiple tests. |
