| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 39.95435 N, 75.18837 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The phage was found in soil that was damp, cool, dense, and had organic matter scattered in and around the soil. This soil sample was located near tree roots, in a shaded area, and had many trees around the soil. |
| Naming Notes | This phage was named Delphidian as a combination of the words Delphinus and ophidian, as a homage to the constellations Delphinus (dolphin) and Ophiuchus (snake catcher). Since the phage produced plaques that, if connected, looked like a constellation, this name seemed fitting. |
