| Discovery Notes | The phage was taken from an enriched compost sample. It went through 2 rounds of purification. |
| Naming Notes | The name Buwch came from a misunderstanding. The source of this phage was thought to be from steer feces, as a result the phage was named Buwch (the Welsh word for cow). It was later found out that virus was not from steer feces but instead from a compost pile. The name stayed. |
