| Discovery Notes | Phage 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 Notes | The 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. |
