| Discovery Notes | Soil Sample was taken on August 24, 2023 at 7:16 pm when air temperature was 28°C. It was in shade of woods near walking trail, so it was moist and contained some organic material. Recent weather at that time was very hot and humid. |
| Naming Notes | The nickname given to me by my high school swim teammates was "Big Rik" so I named this phage after that. |

| Plaque Notes | There were two morphologies of plaques observed: smaller pinpricks and larger circles. The total range in plaque size was 1-4 mm. All were turbid, but the larger circles had a halo effect with a slightly more clear center. They exhibited some density dependency, with the more prevalent plaque morphology depending on the concentration. |
