| Discovery Notes | This phage was found in a soil sample collected from a home garden. |
| Naming Notes | As the academic year progressed, "Chop" became the term for an alpha-hunter-type phage. What started as an idea of a warrior/defensive linemen soon became a way to motivate us to find the Holy Grail of phages. |
