| Found By | Cristopher Valle & Thanh Ngoc Truong |
| Year Found | 2025 |
| Location Found | Miami, FL United States |
| Finding Institution | Florida International University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 25.75613 N, 80.3737 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The environment was humid and soil was wet due to the persistent rain. It was 89 degrees F at the moment the sample was collected and 3 cm depth. |
| Naming Notes | We came up with name FountainFog due to its location. After getting results from our procedures, we noticed that results tended to be foggy, making it difficult to identify plaques. |
