| Discovery Notes | Soil originated from a planter on the Southeast corner of Brook and Meeting streets that contained a mixture of soil and mulch, with some roots. The sample was drawn from the surface to about 3cm of depth. The temperature at the time of collection was 21C. JuicyJay was found using direct plating. |
| Naming Notes | The phage is predicted to be of cluster J. A musical artist has a similar name, but spelled differently, and declined the invitation to have phage named after him. |

| Plaque Notes | Plaques are cloudy, and of widely variable size. In some, the cloudiness is evenly distributed in a ring, while in others there is a tail, resembling a short comet's tail of cloudiness in one direction, while the other edge is fairly defined. Plaques range from less than 0.5mm diameter to a maximum around 4mm. |
