| Naming Notes | I chose to name my phage Dragons293 because dragons are one of my favorite mythical creatures, and are known to devour their enemies and destroy their surroundings. Also, I chose the number 293 as a mixture of 2, for the phage's size, and 93 for the year I was born, which was 1993. |
