| Discovery Notes | Location: 27.685106 N -97.348310 W 7200, Holly Road, South Side, Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, 78412, US. Collected under a tree at the base a couple of yards away from the pond. Elevation: 3 m Time: June 23, 2020 at 7:10 pm Depth: 1 inch Soil Condition: Damp, clayish texture. Surroundings: Near a pond with ducks and geese, many trees covered with ants. Weather: Mostly cloudy, 84°F, 29.81 "Hg Humidity: 84% Wind: 13 mph |
| Naming Notes | In Greek mythology, Ladon is depicted as a dragon wrapped around a tree which is why I deemed it appropriate to assign the name to a phage I isolated underneath a tree. |

| Plaque Notes | I theorize that this is a lytic phage because the large plaque is clear with a slightly turbid edge (I assume cells at at the edge of the plaque are not fully lysed). Size of the plaques are roughly 4 millimeters. |
