| Discovery Notes | Sample was taken near the southeastern corner of a compost pile that is a mixture of horse manure, wood shaving, and dried grasses. Sample was not directly from pile but from the soil walls in contact with the compost from a depth of about 3 inches. Soil was moist with mild clumping but not muddy. |
| Naming Notes | Phages consume bacteria (what looks like clumps, or little matza balls sometimes), so I named it "Bacman" because it was pretty large and round and reminded me of the classic arcade game character that also consumes little globular stuff. |
