Discovery NotesTaken from soil in a flower pot. The soil was covered, moist, dark, and thin. Fertilizers were present in the soil. Organic material was abundant in the soil sample taken.
Naming NotesI chose this name because of my family's Dutch heritage. Gezellig is a Dutch word that is somewhat non translatable, but refers to the cozy, warm, comfortable, relaxing feelings when being with family and friends. I hope this phage can be used someday to bring those same feelings to the sick, weak, and diseased.
