| Discovery Notes | Sample taken from 2" in depth of soil near a pond and other vegetation. The approximate temperature on 8/21/15 was 72°F |
| Naming Notes | The name of my phage is based on it's very small size and its ability to destroy unknown or unwanted things in the body or any living thing. The number 17 is in honor of my Dad, he was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and through this project he and I both have learned not only about finding a new phage but also the tremendous impact that one discovery may have on the medical field! Keep the research going!! |
