| Discovery Notes | The sample was collected on September 9th 2024, at 4:25pm, approximately 6 inches/15.45 cm into the ground. The Soil was moist, and the sample collection site was an Urban setting. Specifically a parking lot median underneath mulch. |
| Naming Notes | We named this phage Nichirin after our favorite anime in which the main character's sword was a Nichrin sword. Originally our plaques were weirdly oblong and narrow as they were arranged in a comet formation, which made sense considering a sword is also long and narrow. |
