| Discovery Notes | Phage isolation, characterization, and annotation were performed by Team Baby Got Plaque: Aida Akopyan, Emily Pang, Kei Shao, and Meera Solanki. The phage was isolated by direct plating of nasal microcomedones obtained by a Biore pore strip from the nose of Meera Solanki. TAs: Rocky Ng, Andrew Lund UA: Lariska Theron Instructors: Dr. Frances Mercer, Dr. Krisanavane Reddi and Dr. Jordan Moberg Parker. |
| Naming Notes | The students combined their first letter of their names to create MEAK (Meera, Emily, Aida, and Kei). |
