| Discovery Notes | Isolated from enriched soil sample. The soil was taken from about 4 cm down, approximately two feet from a high traffic sidewalk on Hope College's campus. The soil was slightly sandy and damp, and was under the shade of a moderate sized bush. There was no grass cover, but a minor amount of decomposing matter. |
| Naming Notes | Inventum (Pronounced: een-wen-toom) means "Discovery" in Latin. I've always loved the Latin language, so I decided to name my phage in Latin. |

| Plaque Notes | Plaques were oblong, measuring approximately 2.5 x 3.5 mm at 24 hours, and about 3.5 x 4.5 mm at 48 hours. The plaques showed two distinct areas of turbidity. The inner 1 - 1.5 mm (diameter) was visibly less turbid than the outer area. Plaque size was very density independent, only changing slightly with differences in number of plaques on the plate. |
