| Discovery Notes | Soil sample collected from Western Kentucky University's campus on September 1, 2015. This area contained moist soil, and very little decay. Smokers often smoke in this area, and it is a heavily traveled.
This phage has clear plaque mutant tendencies. The beginning plaques differ greatly in size from the plaques towards the end of my discovery. |
| Naming Notes | This phage has some clear plaque mutant tendencies; therefore, originally earning the name "Mutant." Since the term mutant has a specific scientific meaning and would be confusing when discussing the phage "Mutant," I chose to name my phage Mutante, which is mutant in Spanish. |
