| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 25°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 39.94533 N, 75.207276 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Moist soil, 0 cm deep, 6 inches from nearest tree, between roots. Urban, near foot traffic |
| Naming Notes | This phage was named after the character Frozone, from the Incredibles. Frozone is known to freeze things up that he does not want growing or affecting the environment around it using his superpower. Our lytic phage prevents bacteria from growing and reproducing by killing the bacteria itself. Also, we both love the Incredibles so it was a perfect match. |
