| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 22°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 47.66494 N, 117.40384 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | We gathered soil resting below a bench adjacent to a walking trail and surrounded by grass. The soil is touched by the shoes of people who sit on the bench and therefore picks up a good amount of its surrounding environment. The soil itself had many ants residing in it and was damp. |
| Naming Notes | My lab partner and I bonded over our favorite food Kraft Mac and Cheese and decided to base our name on this. |

| Plaque Notes | The host bacterium we used was Mycobacterium smegmatis which forms plaques after being infected by samples containing phage particles. Our plaque follows the lytic cycle, which is fast, leaving the host cell destroyed. We isolated and amplified our phage to get the results concluded. |
