| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 39.5725 N, 75.1124 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected after a light drizzle on Lancaster Walk, Philadelphia, PA. The soil sample was slightly damp with organic matter, such as wood chips. The soil was collected from beneath grass level. |
| Naming Notes | The name "Penta" was chosen because it required five rounds of phage purification before achieving an isolated, consistent plaque morphology. |

| Plaque Notes | The plaques were small, clear, and circular in shape. The average diameter was 0.5 to 1.0 mm. The round, circular shapes remained consistent across all five rounds of phage purification and all three rounds of full plate titers. The plaques were clear with smooth, well-defined margins and no turbidity. |
