| Found By | Maddie Reed and Kelly Barry |
| Year Found | 2014 |
| Location Found | Spokane, WA USA |
| Finding Institution | Gonzaga University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 47.6679 N, 117.4037 E Map |
| Discovery Notes | We collected our soil sample on 14 January 2014 from a flower bed in the grotto by St. Aloysius Church on Gonzaga University campus in Spokane, Washington. |
| Naming Notes | We named our phage TinyTots because it create VERY tiny plaques. We decided that because the plaques were so tiny that it was a defining characteristic and therefore deserved to be named after such a characteristic. |
