| Discovery Notes | This phage was found off the banks of the Kentucky River, the sample was taken from 1 ft beneath the surface of the water. This sample produced only one type of plaque. |
| Naming Notes | I named this phage PilotOrr because, much like Joseph Heller's character in Catch-22, this phage is seemingly unconventional and quirky, but in the end turned out to be quite triumphant despite the hardships it originally faced. |
