| Discovery Notes | Was from an unused garden box. |
| Naming Notes | The plaque was strong having to do 6 rounds of dilution for a "normal" dilution present. The plaque's morphology seemed abnormally large compared to classmates. Herculean means requiring great strength or effort both of which our phage did. |
