| Discovery Notes | The soil gathered was taken from a community garden of Johns Hopkins University. It was collected at approximately 10:30am, from approximately 4cm beneath the surface. The soil was fairly dry and was not directly next to or surrounding any live plants. |
| Naming Notes | After coming into the lab outside of my class on a Friday afternoon, I developed a stronger bond with my professor. Both of us are fairly sassy, and we bantered back and forth. By the end of the day, my professor made a comment about how he was going to have a "Four-Star Nutty." Apparently it refers to some sort of fit, and was a popular phrase "back in the day." While Google doesn't return a single result defining the term as my professor had, and I'm not sure the phrase is legitimate at all, it seemed like a fitting name for my temperamental and aggressive phage (while also poking fun at my professor). |

| Plaque Notes | The plaques are of a bulls-eye morphology, and typically appear to be approximately 3-5mm in diameter (however, if two or more plaques merge together, they can sometimes appear to be a single, larger plaque). The plaques are often fairly aggressive, typically either completely covering a plate with plaques or having no plaques on a plate. |
