Discovery Notes | In front of a dormitory on UMass Amherst campus called Knowlton. |
Naming Notes | Our group chose BaconCheese as our phage name. The reason we chose this as our phage name is to show a strong, complementary partnership, much like how the two dishes are frequently paired together. It's a fun, creative choice that makes a statement and captures the important role our phage plays in its microbiological environment. |
