Discovery NotesMy sample was taken from a compost sample in a WCU faculty member's backyard. Dr. Marth's sample had loads of phage in it. My average tail size of my phage was 0.204 um and the average head size was 0.062325 um. My DNA yield was 179.4 ng/um.
Naming NotesLiloa stands for "Lil Orphan Annie". I acquired Liloa when my Phage Hunters instructor wanted me to further move his sample along. Since I was having a difficult time isolating my own phage I took Liloa under my wing and grew her up from the very beginning. She was an orphan and I so to speak "adopted" her.
