| Discovery Notes | At the location I collected my soil sample, the soil was very wet and muddy. The location was directly next to the right side of the pond behind the Randolph building, which can be accessed from the forest entrance when walking toward Sadler. I collected about two tablespoons of soil, dipping about an inch down from the surface. |
| Naming Notes | I chose this name due to my obsession with Elvis Presley and quirky scientific puns. |

| Plaque Notes | As seen by the image below, my phage created small halo-like plaques that were about 1 mm in length throughout the lawn. For the majority of my agar plates, there has been minimal turbidity presented compared to clear web lysis. Despite having to dilute my phage much further than expected, the size and shape of the plaques created by my phage were very similar. |
