| Discovery Notes | Phage was isolated from a moist soil sample collected on September 9, 2025 outside Dinallo Heights at Montclair State University. The sample produced a high number of plaques during direct isolation, indicating a strong presence of phage in the soil. Plaques were consistent across plates during the isolation workflow. |
| Naming Notes | The phage was named Dinallo after the location where the soil sample was collected. |
