Discovery NotesFound outside Lamberton Hall at Lehigh University on the main, Asa Packer Campus. Found in moist soil with no plant life or fungi near the site and was obtained from 3 inches beneath the soil surface.
Naming NotesI got the name from my friend in Germany who named her dog Flohchen, which literally means "Little Flea" in English. It can also translate to "Little Pest" or simply "Rascal", which my phage has been over the course of time I've been working with it over the past few weeks.
