| Discovery Notes | Collected from soil on 09/02/2025 07:32, in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. Found in dirt next to a vegetable garden which was slightly moist (from watering), depth of 7.62 cm. Weather conditions were 17°C, cloudy, and slightly sunny. |
| Naming Notes | When I was thinking of what to name my phage I was also thinking of my grandpa (on my mom’s side), his last name is Perone (pronounced: Per-On) It’s also my mom’s maiden name and she’s an amazing and inspiring person. I also thought that a bacteria plate with phage can look like a slice of pepperoni in a way. So, this was my way of choosing a kind of silly, yet meaningful, name. Pronounced: pep-per-On. |
