| Discovery Notes | Sample taken from JHU Community Garden plant bed from weed filled section of fenced in bed It was an urban environment.

| Naming Notes | I first thought of my phage’s characteristics as empty plates or glass circles, and the glass idea had potential. From my great love of Disney, I decided to name my phage GlassSlipper. I chose that name because my plaques are transparent, and there is always a chance that the plaques might disappear due to contamination. If this were to occur, I am sure it would always happen at midnight. I know that others in my class accounted for general behavior of their phages when they named them, and I have been very lucky with my phage. He is quite reliable and calm like an inanimate object; therefore, his name is appropriate. |
