| Discovery Notes | My sample was procured from a marshy area near Smith Lake in Ocala, Florida. The soil was very rich and crawling with life, ready for someone to discover the bacteriophages present. |
| Naming Notes | Derived from the detective-like nature one must have to uncover what cluster type a bacteriophage is, I named my phage "Holmes221B." There is slight comedy in that my last name is Holmes, and the fictional character Sherlock Holmes lives at the address 221B Baker Street. |
