| Discovery Notes | Collected on 9/2/2012 at 4:37 pm.
Temperature was 84 F and sample was at a depth of around 6 inches.
This sample was taken from the Burning Kumquat which is a student-run organic garden located on Shepley Drive. This carrot patch only just geminated into seedlings and is regularly fertilized with compost.
Sample site was teeming with life (ants, aphids). |
| Naming Notes | The name of this phage came from the robot from the TV show Invader Zim. |
