| Discovery Notes | Discovered in a small, shallow (~4in depth) hole in the ground on the SCSU campus. Soil was collected from the bottom of the hole, and was slightly moist and exposed to partial sun. The air temp was 66 degrees F and the previous few days had been sunny with no rain. |
| Naming Notes | The original idea for the phage name was "Goose," as trying to amplify this phage seemed like a wild goose chase at times. As the name Goose was taken, "Geese" was suggested as an alternative. |
