| Discovery Notes | I found my soil outside of Ames Suites on the UWRF campus. The area where I found it was low traffic and in the shade. I dug about 4-5 inches into the dirt where it was cool and moist. |
| Naming Notes | My phage was super small so I named it Gomashi, which is a Japanese word meaning "little sesame seed". I felt this fit my phage because of their size. Its also the name of my cat. |
