| Discovery Notes | I first picked up my phage from soil under mulch at 13 degrees celsius at a latitude of 41.829 and a longitude of -71.402. I ran the enrichment process on 09/13/13 and was able to isolate my phage after four purification rounds. 1st round: 09/18/13 2nd round: 09/23/13 3rd round: 09/25/13 4th round: 09/30/13 |
| Naming Notes | "Lux" is Latin for light. I thought this was a fitting name for my phage not only because it enlightened my days, but also because it can potentially be the light at the end of the tunnel. |
