Discovery NotesThis sample was collected outside of the Robsham Memorial Center for Visitors on the campus of University of Massachusetts Amherst. The soil was collected from soil underneath a bush. The soil was collected next to the building underneath two dead bushes and underneath the mulch
Naming NotesThis phage was named Chipotletime because of one our group members. Everytime on her way home from lab she would always go to chipotle and then tell us about what she got during the next lab. We decided it was a fun topic that allowed us to get closer together as groupmates. Then when it was time to come up with names it was initially a joke but then we decided that it was a fun name that was something in our group. We decided to make our name connect something from our group and so we decided to take that story of how she got chipotle and make it our phage name.
