| Discovery Notes | This phage was located near a building, underneath a tree. There was sufficient soil, yet it contained some mulch and mud. In addition, there was sand, but we were able to collect mostly soil and through filtration, we were able to get rid of any excess minerals. There was also no water nearby. |
| Naming Notes | We named our phage, Bonsai, because surrounding the phage were beautiful green trees and we thought our name should be correlating to a certain type of tree which indicated its uniqueness to the environment since there are so many different phages in the world that have yet to be discovered. |

| Plaque Notes | Our plaques were mainly transparent, with round edges and approximately the same size (1 millimeter). Their biological properties include coming from the same species and population which helped us identify them as coming from one clonal population. |
