| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was taken from the Oakland Avenue Farm, which is located on Oakland Avenue across from Bouquet Gardens. The soil was partly dry, due to the fact that we have not had rain in a while. The soil was not compact, therefore, very loose and easy to collect. The weather at the time of collection was extremely hot, dry, and sunny. The area of collection was located specifically in a plot of garden soil, which was a wide, open space. |
| Naming Notes | The ancient Greek word for "restrain" - our phage's plaques are restrained to a tiny area. It is also the origin of the name Hektor - a famous Trojan hero from the Iliad. |
