| Discovery Notes | This plaque was discovered in moist soil under a compost pile. It approximately 63 degree F and the soil sample taken was about 3.6 cm in the soil. The soil was sheltered from the sunlight because of trees and leaves. This soil sample was about 2 feet from a dumpster. Surrounding this area is mostly soil with little grass. The mean capsid width is 67.61 nm with a standard deviation of 2.56 nm. The mean tail length is 159.49 nm with a standard deviation of 8.405. |
