| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was dug approximately 12 hours after it had started raining. Therefore, the surrounding environment was moist and muddy. The collection site had no grass. Furthermore, the sample site contained many roots since it was a couple of feet away from trees. The soil sample was collected after digging 3.81 cm down. |
| Naming Notes | Antares is one of the top 20 most brightest stars visible in the night sky. Antares is a notable slow irregular variable star due to its dynamic periodicity with light emissions. Therefore, this phage was named Antares because it showed varying plaque sizes before multiple rounds of purification. |

| Plaque Notes | The clear plaques indicated that the phages were in the lytic cycle, and they had lysed all of the host bacteria. The smallest plaque had a diameter of 0.5 mm and the largest plaque had a diameter of 1.0 mm. The plaques were dispersed all around the plate. Additionally, the plaques were smooth around the edges. |
