| Discovery Notes | Soil sample was collected from a compost pot. Phage contents were abundant producing completely clear plates. Approximately five serial dilutions were performed, not because of a failed 10-fold dilution or contamination, but because of having such high concentration. A ten-fold dilution was accomplished each round and each weeks results were consistent with proper techniques. |
| Naming Notes | A series of names were shuffles through when finally, my cat's name Juniper with the number 1 applied to end was processed by the database. |
