Discovery NotesPhage was found in crumbly, dry soil. Soil had tiny leaves and sticks throughout. Soil was medium brown in color, collected by the shore of a pond in an urban neighborhood.

The electron microscopy revealed that the phage was oblong and round, different from most siphoviridae.
Naming NotesThe plaques for this phage were pretty small compared to the phages of my peers with an oblong shape. So, I decided to name my phage Babyloucarrot. This is a reference to the carrot in Veggie Tales, who has an oblong shape.
