| From enriched soil sample? | Yes | 
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C | 
| GPS Coordinates | 26.002478 N, 80.37214 W Map | 
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected from a shaded residential garden in Pembroke Pines, Florida. The sample site was located near a concrete border separating a garden bed from the lawn, under partially moist soil conditions following rainfall. Ambient temperature at the time of collection was approximately 30°C. | 
| Naming Notes | The name Madique originates from a combination of our favorite show character "Madara" and the French word magnifique, symbolizing both strength and elegance. |
