| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Thomas Shaw, Alexander Soderling |
| Year Found | 2025 |
| Location Found | Blacksburg, VA United States of America |

| Discovery Notes | Located in a flower garden behind a apartment complex, underneath newly spread mulch and fertilizer. Surrounding areas had some white substances around, could have been spider webs. |
| Naming Notes | We wanted to make a name relevant to the current times, the phage Lebron was found by a researcher at JMU a while back, and we wanted to relate our phage to a newer and less discussed public figure, ending with us landing with the name BronnyJr. Upon analyzing the Lebron phage, we also noticed it had a significantly longer tail length than ours, making it appropriate for ours to be deemed a junior, even if the two phages aren't the same or related. |
