Discovery NotesThe soil sample was collected from outside the Acopian Engineering Center, near a tree. The sample was extracted from a depth of 1 inch and appeared moist and dark. At the time of collection, the temperature outside was approximately 42°F.
Naming NotesOur phage was named to honor the importance of hydrogen bonds. In chemistry, we learn that hydrogen bonds are strong when they work in groups, but in biology, they are considered weaker. Thus, our phage was named Hydrella, combining "hydrogen" to represent the role of hydrogen bonds in both stability and adaptability.
