| Discovery Notes | This phage was derived from a soil sample taken behind Bentley Hall at Drexel University. The location of this soil sample is a heavily muddy because it is located at a slight hill decrease where there are sprinklers. The area is also very grassy. The soil sample was taken after digging about 6.35 cm down into the ground. |
