| Discovery Notes | Chris was found in sandy and bark filled soil near a statue of Jesus. It was raining when we collected our soil sample. |
| Naming Notes | We named our phage Chris because he is a temperate phage and we thought Chris was a mellow name. We also wanted a person name because our phage is a living being. |
