| Discovery Notes | Found at the back of the Payne Center in a ditch. The soil depth was 2-5 cm beneath the topsoil. It was 85° F outside on a sunny day. |

| Plaque Notes | The plaques are approximately 4 mm in diameter. There is a halo around the plaque, which looks like a bull’s-eye. This may be because some of the bacteria in the halo have become immune to the phage. They are circular in shape and turbid making them lysogenic. |
