| Discovery Notes | This phage was found in the soil of a garden bed. This garden bed was on the campus of Lafayette College, in front of Skillman Library. The soil was undisturbed, and partially frozen. The sample was taken from approximately 2 inches deep into the garden bed. It was a cloudy, cold day with the outdoor temperature being 42°F (5.5°C). |
| Naming Notes | This phage is a combination of it's founders last names (Gibson and O'Shea). We chose "Gibshea" because we have put a lot of time and effort into isolating this phage and we feel it is an extension of ourselves, which is why we wanted to name it after ourselves. |
