| Discovery Notes | Dormbaby phage was collected from a soil sample at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington at coordinates 47.667872 N, -117.403315 W. This location is located in front of the College Hall building at Gonzaga University. The soil used for our sample was collected from a patch of grass lawn, directly adjacent to ventilation containers. The area from which we collected our sample was clear from trees or other large vegetation. |
| Naming Notes | The name "Dormbaby" originates from how we would complete Biology Lab assignments together in the freshman dormitories. Furthermore, we added the term 'baby' because we felt a sense of ownership over our phage, as we spent the second semester of our Freshman year studying this phage sample. |

| Plaque Notes | When studying plaque assay samples of our phage collected on plates, we found that our phage species formed clusters of colonies. Each individual plaque was about 1-2 mm in diameter. The plaques on the plates were also halo shaped, with clear rings and opaque centers. However, we do not have a picture of our plates. |
