Discovery NotesA soil sample was collected on September 3, 2024 in the front yard of a residential neighborhood at 7:20 am. The time of collection was deliberate in an attempt to protect the sample from UV and heat. The sample was collected at the base of an olive tree (olea europaea) in an attempt to maximize the possibility of successfully collecting phage containing bacteria. The sample collected was fine tightly compact dirt with relatively low moisture despite the sprinklers being run the night prior.
Naming NotesThe name OliverOleOlea was made because i have a pug named Oliver and it seemed fitting since the phage was found at the base of an olive tree. My lab partner chose the "ole" part of the name in reference to the chant people do at sports games. Olea was also added to the name because it is the genus of the olive tree.
