| Discovery Notes | This phage was discovered about two hours away from the UMass Amherst campus in moist soil. |
| Naming Notes | The phage name is just an idea of what first comes to mind when working with things like viruses, which are known to cause diseases, hence “bug.” Also, we were thinking to be creative with the name, likening it to something that you would name a pet, and Pogbug seemed most appropriate. |
