| Discovery Notes | This phage was isolated from my mothers coriander garden.The soil her was moist but not very wet. the soil was taken from the top of the garden no more than 2cm below the surface. This was one first soil samples that had been enriched but was only plated a week after the soil had been incubated. |
| Naming Notes | The phage was named after myself, as it had taken a lot of hard work to actually find it. |
