| Discovery Notes | This bacteriophage was discovered in dry topsoil located in Waco, Texas. It was specifically taken from Baylor University, located in a cooler location, under bushes. The temperature of the soil was around 80 degrees Celcius, while the air temperature was around 97 degrees Celcius. |
| Naming Notes | Cooter is a name I have grown up loving. I would never name a real child Cooter, so I figured I could name my phage it! |

| Plaque Notes | The plaque clearings were very small. The clearings were never over 1mm in diameter. All plates, even from the very beginning, and throughout the isolation process, looked the same: speckled with tiny clearings. The actual phage is fairly long and thin, with a medium-sized head. The tail slightly bends in certain pictures, but is for the most part fairly straight. Its morphotype is siphoviridea. |
