| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 33.209803 N, 97.150715 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Soil was collected around 11:00am on 08/21/2024. Soil was from a grassy median on Avenue C on the University of North Texas campus. Soil was very dry. It was 86°F (30°C), and it was sunny and somewhat humid at the time. |
| Naming Notes | I just like foods made with potatoes, and I thought it was a fun name to use for a phage. Also, "Ping" was originally going to be "King", but I chose "Ping" due to the alliteration. |
