| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 37°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 32.54954 N, 94.821309 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | At 7:43 in the morning, soil was obtained from a hole that was 3.8 cm. The ambient temperature was 22.2˚C. The area the soil was collected from was shaded and had exposed soil. |
| Naming Notes | Nikao is Greek for "to overcome" or "to be victorious". I picked this name because of the frustations I had with this phage. My hope is that, in the end, I will overcome the challenges and be successful. |
