| Discovery Notes | Found in a garden on the university of Kwa-zulu Natal, in a garden of flower, to obtain the sample, I dug the superficial soil layer, the soil was therefore dry. The garden has a tree nearby.
the sample has been purified three times |
| Naming Notes | The phage is named for my little sister, Nts'ebo Josette. we nicknamed her Babo, hence the first part of the name, the second part is the initial letter of her middle name(Josette), subsequently giving BaboJay... I named the phage after her because of the halo plaque morphologies, it deserved to be named after an angel... |
