| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected along a walking path in the middle of a college campus, next to a bush. The sample was collected from (40.0090008, -105.2690736) at 7°C (45°F). Approximately 3 mL of the collected sample was incubated in 4mL LB media (10g tryptone, 5g yeast extract, 10g NaCl) and 1 mL Mycobacterium smegmatis (mc^2 155) and the result was incubated (shaking) for 48 hours at 37°C. |
| Naming Notes | The phage name was inspired by LeBron James. |
