| Discovery Notes | I went to pick up my soil sample somewhere near my house where I knew the soil was not properly taken care of. I knew this because almost everyday I take my dog there to pee and poop. So on the day I would test my soil sample I picked it an hour prior. The day before I picked it-- it had just finished raining so the soil was moist. The soil was near a tree and the area around it had patches of grass around it. I went at least 3 cm deep to pick up my soil--in which I instantly placed in a plastic bag. I kept it in a dark, room-temperature place before testing it an hour later. |
| Naming Notes | The name of this phage came from when I had received my results of my direct isolation plate--one week after finding my soil sample to see whether there was plaque or not. To my surprise--there was plaque and a baby worm still moving! So I named it after the baby worm that had survived. My lab partner, Dayana, was saying the worm was radioactive now--so with that, I had to name the phage "Radworm." |
