| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 24°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 37.324272 N, 86.199231 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The sample was collected at 12:28 p.m. from soil with moderate moisture content and was found around 100 feet from a trailer home in a rural area near Nolin Lake. The temperature at the time of sampling, according to AccuWeather.com, was 23.9 degrees Celsius. |
| Naming Notes | The name "Parvamundi" comes from the Latin phrase "parva mundi," meaning "small world." My phage appears to have a circular head in my EM photographs; this spherical structure inspired the name. |

| Plaque Notes | Parvamundi's plaques are generally small and turbid within the first 20-24 hours of incubation. Beyond 24 hours of incubation, the plaques typically become clear with turbid halos surrounding the central clearing zone, as shown in the Plaque Picture. This plaque morphology suggests that Parvamundi has a temperate life cycle rather than a lytic one. |
