| Discovery Notes | We discovered our phage from an isolated soil sample. This soil sample was found in a moist patch of dirt that was covered with snow under a tree outside the Porter Bioscience building. |
| Naming Notes | We decided to name our phage after the Flatiron mountains in Boulder, Colorado which is where our soil sample originated from. Due to the fact that Flatiron was already taken, we chose to name our phage IronFlat instead. |
