| Discovery Notes | The soil was loose and sandy with bits of acorns mixed in, giving it a rough texture, but easy to dig into. The area was dry, with no signs of recent rain. It was early autumn, with warm weather, a light breeze, and leaves just beginning to change color. |
| Naming Notes | We originally named our phage MrSmigg because it's a combination of our initials, but that got rejected. Our new name for our phage is BigHagar, and we chose this name just because we thought it was cute since you use top agar to help facilitate enumeration. |
