Discovery NotesThis sample was found in the dirt that was in a creek. This creek was near Brooks Residential Housing at Baylor University. This creek collects a lot of runoff from the area above it.

Elkhan's DNA was sequenced and identical to Amigo.
Naming NotesThe name ElKhan started from El conquistador, the idea being the phage "conquers" bacteria. Since this name was invalid for a phage name it was shortened to ElKhan, Khan being a pseudo-pun as a shortened version of conquistador and the name of a major antagonist in the Star Trek universe.
