| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 40.625 N, 75.378056 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Lasso was isolated from the sediment at the bottom of a shallow stream bed. The sample was collected under approximately 5 inches of water and 2 inches of sediment. The temperature was 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7.2 degrees C). |
| Naming Notes | The name "Lasso" was inspired by the physical characteristics of the phage when viewed under the electron microscope. The long tail paired with the round shape of the head resembled a lasso. |
