| Discovery Notes | Although this phage was discovered by Phillip, I adopted it to do further purification. The soil was collected outside of the Cathedral of Learning in a flower bed. The temperature was around 66-77 degrees Fahrenheit and the soil collected was described to be "dry and crumbly." |
| Naming Notes | As a request from Joe and Wale, current University of Maryland students, this phage was named Terrapin. UMD's mascot is better known as "Testudo," but I couldn't name my phage that due to trademarks on this name. However, my partner, Cece, spelled the name wrong so now this phage's name is spelled with one r. |
