| Discovery Notes | Phage MintyLeaf was isolated from moist backyard soil in an area where mint previously grew, which may have contributed to microbial diversity. The isolation was performed using Arthrobacter globiformis as the host at 30°C. Plaques were clear and webbed, indicating a lytic phage. The initial plate showed high plaque density and diversity in size, ranging from 0.5 mm to 4 mm, with both isolated and clustered plaques observed |
| Naming Notes | Since mint grew previously, I figured it fit with its soil. |

| Plaque Notes | MintyLeaf forms primarily clear, round plaques ranging from 0.5 mm to 4 mm in diameter. The plaques appear lytic, with sharp edges and high contrast against the bacterial lawn. On earlier plates, plaques were densely packed and often overlapped (webbed morphology), while later dilutions revealed more isolated plaques of varying sizes. |
