| Discovery Notes | The sample I collected was from a pile of plant debris. This included cut grass and a lot of dried flax. The sample in specific just had grass cuttings which were both damp on the underside of the clump of grass and very dry on the top. |
| Naming Notes | During the process, I saw that my plaque morphology changed to have a halo which reminded me of a star. Luma is derived off of star-shaped creatures from super Mario bros the game that I think suits the phage perfectly. |
