| Discovery Notes | Date of sample collection: 09/26/17 Time of sample collection: 5:00PM Depth of soil dug: 7cm (2.76in) Approximate temperature: 28oC (83oF) General location: Summer Winter Community Garden, Philadelphia PA 19104 GPS coordinates reading: 39.9592554, -75.1890105 Sample site description: slightly dry and hard, dark-colored soil, has shade and leaf cover, thriving with organisms |
| Naming Notes | Phage plaques are tiny in size and were frequently contaminated during the purification steps. One might say it has a weak institution, but regardless of its state it was successfully isolated and sequenced. It is not hard to make the connection between the phage and a certain historical figure who, despite his physical disadvantages, achieved greatness in his life. My hope for the phage is that it could also be somehow beneficial for the scientific community. |
