| Discovery Notes | Sample site was next to a creek. The area was cool and damp with vegetation growing nearby. The temperature was 18°C. |
| Naming Notes | Iota is the letter "i" in the greek alphabet, and we thought that our phage looked like a lower case "i" when examining under electron microscopy. |
