Discovery Notes | Soil collected in Denton, Texas near an apartment complex and forest clearing on the coordinates (33.2009487°, -97.1311231°). Collected one handful of soil via holding plastic bag inversely, wearing the plastic bag like a glove and retrieving the dirt in a fistful about 4 inches from ground's surface. Extraction occurred at around noon and the soil's wet surface was accompanied by a slight stench. Temperature during collection was 52°F and the area had previously been covered in the ice/snow that had occurred approximately 72 hours prior. |
Naming Notes | I named it Grendel due to my love of the character Grendel from the online game Warframe. Additionally, Grendel consumes enemies in-game and this characterization is what I connected to the way the phages would lyse the bacteria. |
