Found ByJesus Espinoza, Justin Salsbery
Year Found2022
Location FoundSpokane, WA United States of America
Finding InstitutionGonzaga University
ProgramScience Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science
From enriched soil sample?Yes
Isolation Temperature22°C

Discovery NotesThe sample was taken at surface level and had some grass and was slightly moist. The location would have the sun shining on it for most of the day and the sample was taken at 10:50 am with an ambient temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Naming NotesWe named this phage after the Krusty Krab Secret Formula that plankton was always trying to procure. As our difficulty with increasing the phage concentration failed every time just like plankton failed to procure the secret formula.
