| Discovery Notes | I found this soil sample on the Allegany College of Maryland football field, right next to a tall street light, to add to the description was a light green circle, which looked like something had damaged the grass. |
| Naming Notes | Watching my favorite Netflix show, The Troll Hunters, the line, "For The Glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command," made me think of the Merlin series, where a boy used his powers to help people. I thought that naming my phage Merlin18 will show the my phage can help save a life, also I am 18 years old. |
