| Discovery Notes | Collection site: The soil sample was collected from the first tree on the sidewalk that is right in front of Race hall residence of Drexel University. Soil Sample description: The soil was very moist in most areas but the area around it was filled with roots which made it very hard to properly dig. Depth of soil dug: 1 in Time: 9:08 AM |
| Naming Notes | The Phage name LePhron came from the effort and struggles we had in isolating our phage, but how we persisted. This reminded us of how LeBron James struggled to overcome the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA finals, overturning a 3-1 deficit. |
