| Naming Notes | For our team's student-driven experiment, we were studying the antimicrobial properties of garlic and its potential to be used in phage therapy. As a result, we wanted to name the phage something related to garlic. We later came up with “garlic knots” and revised it to “GarlicKnox.” |
