| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 35.20182 N, 111.65161 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Sampled slightly moist, brown, non-sandy soil approximately 2cm below surface from planter under a tree in suburban Flagstaff Townsite. Surrounding climate was 3 degrees Celsius, 29% humidity, and 30.1 inHg pressure. Surrounding environment was populated by pine trees and some grasses. |
| Naming Notes | Pinprick comes from the minute morphology of the phage plaques. Sloth comes from the extended incubation time required for numerous plaques to develop. |
