| Discovery Notes | The phage that was isolated from soil that was found in Durban , South Africa in my backyard.The phage was discovered 96 hours after enriching the soil sample. |
| Naming Notes | The name encompasses my name and surname. The "mo" comes from Moodley and the "va" originates from Avanthi. The plaques also appeared to be in motion (although we know they are not) on the agar plates hence the name "MOVA". |
