| Discovery Notes | This bacteriophage was isolated from a surface-level soil sample retrieved in a local neighborhood backyard garden. The sample itself is comprised mainly of peaty soil in an area regularly fertilized, irrigated, and cooled down under shadows. |
| Naming Notes | Derived from Sanskrit roots "lava" (लव) and "bara" (बर), meaning harvesting/cutting and strength respectively. This alludes to the bacteriophage's lytic properties as a "cutting force" against the host. Named to incorporate the initials (A.B., L.A., and A.R.) of the students working on isolating the bacteriophage (Aruneem Bhowmick, Lucas Askew, and Athreya Reddy). Paying homage to the Elkhorn Valley Campus, the facility at which work on the bacteriophage was done. |
