| Discovery Notes | Was found in a half sunny half shady area covered in grass. The area is next to a pond, and it looks like there used to be a stream where the soil was collected from. It was 54 degrees F outside and there had been no rain in the preceding 3 days. There were various bugs crawling around near the collection site. Ave capsid width (nm) : 97.34 +/- 3.345 Ave tail length (nm): 320.94 +/- 10.04 |
| Naming Notes | The phage was found in soil from an old water source. It also gave me problems while trying to produce an MTL, so naming it Typhoon, as they do cause destruction, stress, and setbacks only made sense. |
