| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 37°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 38.83011 N, 77.30588 E Map |
| Discovery Notes | This Gordonia phage was extracted from a soil sample taken at George Mason University's Innovation Garden several hours after moderate rainfall. The top layer of soil was covered with mulch therefore the actual soil sample was taken several inches below the surface since the soil was still moist and seemed ideal for bacterial & phage growth. |
| Naming Notes | The name "Phanta" is derived from the soft drink Fanta for its fantastic flavor, specifically orange Fanta. |

| Plaque Notes | Plaques from this phage appear circular with smooth borders suggesting the phage is lytic. Plaque morphology remained consistent from initial spot test plates after enrichment through full plate titering for the large volume lysate. |
