| Discovery Notes | The sample was dug up around late August when the weather in Spokane was hotter and drier. Some days of the week temperatures reached into the 90s and dipped down into the lower 70s (Fahrenheit). It was collected outside of CM, where the dirt was less moist but still loosely clumped together. |
| Naming Notes | The name of the phage came from the first food that we thought of when we were hungry. |
