| Discovery Notes | Bugs were hovering in the area the soil was collected from, near construction on the University of Connecticut campus, collected from the surface of the ground (not dug out from underneath,) taken from a park |
| Naming Notes | I decided to name my phage "DavisParkBeach" after my favorite place on earth! I grew up spending time on Fire Island, a strip of beach adjacent to Long Island, New York! We eventually built a house in the small area of Davis Park and have spent every summer there since I was a little kid. I learned to surf, go crabbing and clamming, paddle board and kayak, and so much more! This place is incredibly special to me, just as my phage is! |

| Plaque Notes | Originally I had large plaques covering every single plate I made and had an extremely high titer (6x10^-11) but through dilution, the concentration decreased. When looking at them through the microscope the heads are pretty large, and unfortunately a lot of the tails broke off in the process. |
