| Discovery Notes | This soil was collected from a soy bean field in Frederic, Wisconsin. The soil was moist, loose, sandy, and the top layer had a layer of moss. The soil depth was 38 mm deep. It was collected on September 10, 2016. We do not believe that we are part of a cluster because we did not receive results from the PCR gel. |
| Naming Notes | Originally we wanted to name the phage AtticusFinch from the book to Kill a Mocking Bird, but the name was copyrighted so we shortened it to Finch. |
