| Naming Notes | A name like this invokes thoughts of philosophical inquiry, of leaving the cave and seeing the light and understanding more through discovery. In this particular case, however, I just made a lot of plates with this phage, from enrichment plates to plaque picking plates to webs which sometimes worked and sometimes did not. |
