| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 36°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 35.9 N, 115.1 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The solid soil sample was collected on 9/6/21 at 8:37PM from a residential planter in Henderson, NV, 89052. The planter was growing both tomato and basil, and has been kept in a predominantly shaded area. The soil had a silty composition and was very dark in color. It was moist soil with pieces of bark throughout. The sample was collected from approximately 5cm deep and had a wood-like scent. |
| Naming Notes | Named Basato due to the collection of soil coming from a planter growing tomato and basil. |

| Plaque Notes | This phage exhibited two differing morphologies. The more prominent morphology was roughly 0.2 to 0.4cm in diameter, with turbid borders consistent with a more lysogenic phage. The other morphology present was 0.04 to 0.08cm in diameter, with more clear borders, but still characteristic of a temperate phage. |
