| Discovery Notes | Asayake was discovered from a soil collected from the pavement near Martha Miller Multicultural and Communication Center at Hope College. The temperature was about 82°F at the time of discovery and the soil was humid. |
| Naming Notes | Asayke means red glow in the morning in Japanese. It is also the name of a song that I listen to whenever I work on my phage lab stuff. |

| Characterization |
| Cluster | K |
| Subcluster | K1 |
| Cluster Life Cycle | Temperate |
| Lysogeny Notes | Asayke does not grow at 42°C. From the observations made in the previous papers, it is likely that the Asayake grows at a temperature above 42°C.
Also, from the bacteria collected from the mesa, it was confirmed that Asayake produces stable lysoges, meaning Asayke is temperate. |
