| Discovery Notes | On 09/11/13, a day after it rained, I collected OkiRoe from an area of slightly damp soil from a lawn of grass. |
| Naming Notes | For sushi lovers, you will notice how mycobacteriophage plaques look deliciously similar to fish eggs/caviar. Thus, I gave my phage a Japanese name that means "big fish eggs" ("Oki" means "big" and "roe" means "fish eggs"). |
