| Discovery Notes | My soil sample was gathered beside a tree at Lake Forest Park in Denton, Texas. On the day it was collected, January 30th, 2019 at 9:48 am, it was cloudy and windy with a temperature of 39 °F and it was notable that it had rained a bit prior to my arrival. The soil sample had a dark/light brown color, it was moist in some areas and dry in others, it had a grainy texture and it didn’t hold it’s shape well when compacted. |
| Naming Notes | Growing up I was always the jokester in my family, no matter how serious a situation was I always cracked a joke. I was having issues trying to come up with a name, but my father jokingly said, “why not joking”. I took it, then modified it. This is notable when I split it up by capitalizing certain letters. One of my close friends was helping me modify it and noticed that his last name was prominent. So, I split it into sections and did part of my name which is “Jo” and my good friends last name which is “King.” They thought I wouldn’t do it and I would select a different name, but I like the unexpected. |

| Lysogeny Notes | On two of my trials they got contaminated and there were orange and yellowish-brown colored specks. On another one of my trials there was nothing at all, no colonies or contamination, probably because I didn't scrape anything from my plaque. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | The size of my plaques ranged from small to large, with a span between .5mm – 1mm. The larger plaques tended to have an oval shape, those with a circular shape would have a section that waved. The smaller plaques would be circular in form. Some plaques were clumped together and formed deformed shapes. |
