| Discovery Notes | My phage project belongs to the Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science or SEA-PHAGES program at Benedictine University. For my project, I selected soil near the very front of Jaeger Hall at Benedictine University, Lisle, IL on January 10th, 2025. My project was part of the spring term research program with Dr. Perez Morales. The GPS location for the soil site and sample is 41.77762N,88.09614W. I retrieved the soil sample around 10 AM. That day it was sunny but below 20 degrees and the site was also frozen due to snow days before. Due to this recent weather the dirt was difficult to dig as well as very dense. The color of the soil was a deep dark brown and it contained small pieces of rock and surface roots. I removed most of the debris to the best of my ability so that only the soil remained. I had limited resources since I live in a dorm, so I used a red solo cup and my hands to dig approximately 1 inch below the surface to draw out my soil sample. Students and others often visit the soil site, but I did not observe much besides squirrels. The site is also well cared for by the staff at Benedictine University, which can also disrupt the soil. I hypothesized that with increased visits by people and animals to the area, there would be increased disruption of the soil. This might allow a wider diversity of bacteria and phages to be present. A variety of techniques were utilized to isolate and characterize a potential bacteriophage. |
| Naming Notes | I named this phage after softball which is the sport I play and something that means a lot to me. |
