| Discovery Notes | I chose to get my soil from a wet mulch pile. My family eats organic so all of the different decomposed material in there is organic. The soil was very moist and smelly. |
| Naming Notes | It is ancient Greek ruins. Tharros was an ancient city on the west coast of Sardinia, Italy. The literal meaning of the word means courage. I chose this for my virus because this course was about trying to isolate a plaque and trying to extract DNA. This to me was a comparison of like my virus being a great leader and trying to get the most out of it by spending so much time with it. |
