| Discovery Notes | Taken from soil in a flower pot. The soil was covered, moist, dark, and thin. Fertilizers were present in the soil. Organic material was abundant in the soil sample taken. |
| Naming Notes | I chose this name because of my family's Dutch heritage. Gezellig is a Dutch word that is somewhat non translatable, but refers to the cozy, warm, comfortable, relaxing feelings when being with family and friends. I hope this phage can be used someday to bring those same feelings to the sick, weak, and diseased. |
