| Discovery Notes | This phage was found in a large potting plant in schenley plaza. The pot was very large and about three feet tall. There was no vegetation of any kind in the pot just potting soil and it is possible there was fertilizer in the pot. The soil was slightly damp from a rainstorm the previous day. It was 39°F outside so the soil was cold. |
| Naming Notes | I named this phage skittle because skittles are my favorite candy. |
