| Discovery Notes | Found on Lafayette College campus near a residence hall called McKeen Hall. Found in soil patch under the red stairwell connected to the building in the shade. |
| Naming Notes | The reason behind the name is that we wanted to combine the process of lysis (breakdown of bacteria) with the idea of a Velociraptor (a prehistoric predator). This idea makes the phage sound like a powerful predator in the process of destroying bacteria, similar to a raptor. |
