| Found By | Christine Attai and Jia Moore |
| Year Found | 2019 |
| Location Found | Boulder, CO United States of America |

| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 24°C |

| Discovery Notes | Soil collected on Tuesday, September 10, 2019. The sample site was close to a tree which infers a shaded area and close to a sidewalk in an area that was consistently watered by sprinklers. Furthermore, the soil was found below mulch and nearby to medium length grasses. |
| Naming Notes | During isolation and characterization, many experiments were repeated a minimum of 5 times, sometimes ranging up to 8 or 9 times. This struggle forced us to name our phage "Perfection" to highlight the irony that our phage is anything but perfection. |
