| Discovery Notes | BestBoi was found in my backyard garden where I plant tomatoes. I collected the soil in January of this year. The soil was dry and rich in organic matter, as I amend my garden soil with compost annually. |
| Naming Notes | "Best Boy" is a variety of tomatoes that I grow in the garden where I found my phage. It is common to write the word "boy" with the letter I when referring to something cute or precious. Of the two phages I found this semester, this one was by far the most cooperative and easy to grow. It deserves to be called my BestBoi. |
