Discovery NotesThe scientist, Colleen, is the person who Isolated the phage. I simply picked it from her plate. I am also unaware of the host bacteria. It is not real A. globiformis. I will unpate the data base when I find out what it is.
Naming NotesWell, the reason Enkidu works well as a name is due to the two morphologies of this phage. There is a halo morphology resembling that Enkidu was sent by the Gods to challenge Gilgamesh. The small dot morphology resembles that Enkidu was defeated by Gilgamesh, so he is smaller.

Plaque NotesThere are two morphologies of plaques. One is halo and the other is small dot. The reason I know it is one phage is due to multiple "failed" purifications to try to separate the moprhologies.
