| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was taken from one of the trees planted in the sidewalk outside of the WW Hagerty Library on Drexel University's campus.
|
| Naming Notes | The phage was named after the cumulonimbus cloud. When the phage was on a plate with a low serial dilution, the plaques that would form would overlap. Like cumulonimbus clouds, I found you could make shapes and figures out of the overlapping, therefore sparking inspiration for the name. |
