| Found By | Shiyu (Cheryl) Liu |
| Year Found | 2015 |
| Location Found | Baltimore, MD USA |
| Finding Institution | Johns Hopkins University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 39.3289 N, 76.6203 E Map |
| Discovery Notes | Sample was taken from approximately 2 cm below surface of soil. Phage can sometimes create two types of plaques: one small with sharp borders and the other large with slightly blurry borders. |
| Naming Notes | The phage has a long thin tail that brings to mind a beanpole, however, beanpole was taken so bean became the substitute. |
