| Discovery Notes | The sample that contained this phage was collected from an area of soil containing lots of leaves, sticks, and moss. The sample itself was mostly soil with small amounts of roots and moss. |
| Naming Notes | The name was chosen to be DonaldDuck because both members like Disney characters and wanted to connect the phage name to a Disney character. Further, some Disney names were searched to see if they were already existing in the database. So, this is one of the Disney names chosen that is not already used to name a phage. |
