| Former names | Abaddon |
| Found By | Grace Murley |
| Year Found | 2023 |
| Location Found | Temple Terrace, FL United States |
| Finding Institution | University of South Florida |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 32°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 28.023 N, 82.4 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Conditions upon discovery: 32 degrees Celsius, damp/wet mushy soil that received little to no light, humidity at 60 %, time of collection at 2:19 PM
This phage was located beside a storm drain and the combination of lack of sunlight and the recent rainstorm had left the soil extremely damp. |
| Naming Notes | Perkūnas is the name of the Lithuanian God of thunder and storms. Being that I found this phage by a storm drain, I found this name fitting. The Lithuanian origin was chosen because I'm 25% Lithuanian. |
