| Discovery Notes | The soil was moist because the night before it had rained. In the morning, the soil had somewhat hardened but was still soft. I used a digger and reached 2-3 inches before extracting approximately about 1/4 pound of soil. Soil sample is dark and resembles clay. It also contained small pieces of rocks, grass, and roots. |
| Naming Notes | My phage name is Sparse. I decided my name based on the fact that I had very little phage in my sample. And in my direct isolation I had no phages present. To ensure I had not made any errors I repeated direct isolation and still did not have any phages present. It was only when I did enriched isolation when i saw my phage for the first time. It was a lytic phage since it was clear and not cloudy. My plaques are 1mm in diameter. |
