| Discovery Notes | Found at the Northern riverside of the Ottawa River at Strathcona Park. Soil was dark, moist, grainy, and mud-like. |
| Naming Notes | Aikyam is a Sanskrit term often used in Yoga practice to mean oneness, unity, and harmony. I chose this name to represent my love of yoga and to symbolize the universal oneness inherent to the process of discovering and characterizing bacteriophages. There is no better way to appreciate that we all - micro and macro organisms - call this Earth our home. |
