| Discovery Notes | Collected from outside William Pitt Union on the Forbes from the right hand flowerbed on 9-5-2017 at 8:05am. Weather: Temperature was 14.4C (58 F) and was humid outside the barometric pressure was 729.9 mmHg and the humidity was 79%. Soil Conditions: Sample was collected from underneath a layer of woodchips about 0.5 meters from a flower. Choose to collect moist bottom soil, rained the night before so soil was moist and dense. |
| Naming Notes | Name Magnus means strong and powerful. Magnus's lytic abilities make it a strong phage that effectively lyses host bacteria to reproduce. |
