| Discovery Notes | Taken from the soil of flowerbeds around the fountain of Washington Park. The soil was moist from having recently been watered. The soil was loose but not sandy, and it smelled like organic compost. Only the exposed topsoil was taken, nothing below the surface of the dirt. The area taken from was shaded by the afternoon sun. |
| Naming Notes | The name from this phage comes from a Spanish word meaning “speckled”, refering to the variable size of the plaques formed on the plates we made. There is nothing implicit or definitively about it, just the general appearance of the plaques. |
