| Discovery Notes | This phage was from my 11th soil sample. Here are the details: Date: Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Time: 11:10 AM Location: Oakland Square Historic District GPS coordinates: 40.434319, -79.951815 Weather: Sunny; 39°F Surroundings: Rocks, small plants, leaves Depth: Surface - 3 inches deep Soil conditions: Damp, soft, fine Storage technique: Backpack for ~29.5 hours The soil had small plants/weeds growing in it.

| Lysogeny Notes | When plating from a high-titer lysate, the lawn grows and decreases in intensity as the concentration of phage particles decreases, until there is a cleared plate and finally a webbed plate. Phage Bosco is confirmed to be a temperate phage through lysogen testing and can form stable lysogens. |
