| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |

| Discovery Notes | The soil where I got the sample was covered in wood chips, so I had to dig a little ways down to reach the moist soil. I got a few small twigs and little pebbles in the sample itself. The sample was granular and dark brown in color. |
| Naming Notes | At first, I wanted to name my phage “Adam”, like Adam from the Bible, since it was “the first phage” I found. This name was already taken, though, so I put “007” at the end of it because I am a huge James Bond fan. |

| Plaque Notes | The plaque from my phage are fairly uniform in size; however, there are a few that were larger than others. This is a tell-tale sign that I have different kinds of bacteriophage on my plate. My average plaque size is 0.5 mm. My phage has a high adsorption rate, since I have many plaques on each plate. Although the incubation rate affects the size of the plaque significantly, there are some outside variables like agar that I personally have very little control over. This could affect the number of plaques. For example, the moisture on the agar plates may have decreased the number of plaques I could have obtained had the collected water droplets not have coated the agar/bacteria/phage sample/7H9. The plaques are very clear and there is almost no turbidity. |
