| Discovery Notes | Environmental sample was taken from the wooded forest floor following a rain including several Ascomycete and Basidiomycete species attached to decaying/putrid branches/down trees. Luscious moss, sloppy soil, plant species, invertebrates, snails, bugs, rotten detritus. Very fertile soil sample in shade, small lighting between tree canopy. Birch, pine oak, maple, and ponderosa and white pine trees (needles and fallen/rotting leaves). Sample was harvested in September, 21 ~1:45 pm. Sample smells foul, actually beyond foul...very "juicy", "oozy" and "slimy". Quite dark. Failed to centrifuge distinctly and filtering with 0.22 micron slow and painful (use many filters and vacuum to recover ~10 microliters of sample. |
| Naming Notes | Naming this virus I was listening to The Talking Heads song of the same name. This bacteriophage had a pretty high titer and was most reliable at lysing host. |
