| Discovery Notes | - Soil found beneath red woodchips, about two inches deep into the soil. - Soil was damp but not entirely moistened through. About eight hours after a very light rainfall - The area receives rain fairly regularly, however in August, when discovered, the amount of rainfall lacked slightly. - The soil taken was near the roots of Dahlia flowers that were planted there in the late spring/ early summer by my mother. - This area receives full sun daily with direct sunlight hitting at this point for most hours within the day. |
| Naming Notes | Dandy was named for its appearance in the EM image, for it looks like a dandelion. Also, this phage is bold like a lion, creating large, clear plaques. |
