| Discovery Notes | A soil sample was collected from the base of a tree located between Sourin and Lafarge at Saint Joseph's University. At the time of collection, the weather was sunny and humid, though the soil itself was dry. Direct isolation of the sample revealed the presence of multiple bacteriophages, and this finding was subsequently confirmed through three rounds of purification. |
| Naming Notes | During the early arrival program for Beagle students, we spent three days in LaFarge, an old and worn-down building, while waiting for the new dormitory to be completed. Despite its age and slightly eerie charm, it turned out to be a very productive location: soil collected from the building yielded multiple phages. In honor of the unique character of LaFarge and the fact that the phages were first discovered there, the phage was named after the building. |
