| Discovery Notes | Soil retrieve 5-6 inches below the soil underneath a banana tree. The soil was sandy, rich and dark. The sample was taken from inside a greenhouse, which was held at a higher than the average temperature of the climate of Maine to harbor the tropical flora and fauna. |

Liekos is Greek for wolf.GeN5-3 (how it was originally named)was named after the last attempt to isolate a phage. I (Brandon) wanted it the sound sci-fi scientific. It stands for Genetic exploration, New sample 5-3 (third test tube of the fifth sample). |
