| Discovery Notes | Soil was collected on September 1st, 2019 at 8:10pm in Elizabethville, PA in the front yard of 129 Green Acres Avenue approximately 15 feet from a driveway and 20 feet from the front of the house overlooking a trailer. The soil condition was dry, dark in color and fine. Soil depth was recorded as 6.35 cm. Ambient temperature at the time of collection was 21°C or 70°F with humidity of 76% and weather conditions of cloudy, high humidity, and 3 mph SE wind. |
| Naming Notes | The name for this phage came from the fact that it was isolated at my house, Casa, and I wanted to incorporate my mother into the name of my phage. All throughout high school and college, students and teachers called her Kelly Verde in Spanish class so I chose Verde as a more meaningful way to incorporate her into my discovery. I put the two words together which created my phage name CasaVerde. |
