| Discovery Notes | This phage was isolated from soil on the edge of Hickory Creek in Denton, Texas. This section of hickory creek was inside the bounds of a University of North Texas field station. This field station is concerned with studying stream ecology and the sample was collected while on a fish collection trip with Brittany Harried and Warren Burton for Dr. David Hoeinghaus' laboratory. |
