| Discovery Notes | This phage was found by an isolated area along the Constitution Trail nearby Illinois Wesleyan University. My soil sample was obtained from an enclosed field with an abundance of organic matter, as well as chopped down logs. Soil seemed to be not as moist. Instead, it was more dry and brittle.
|
| Naming Notes | Being found in a soil sample near Constitution Trail, I took the first five letters of the trail name ('const') and decided to add 'ella' to the end: Constella. |
