| Discovery Notes | Collected from farm land, years of rototilling, fertilizing, and monoculture. Clay-rich soil. Little detritus in topsoil (some sticks/rocks/plant matter visible). Collected ~1 inch below surface. Soil was not very hard (i.e. had some water content) but not too easily malleable (tools required to dig, not soft enough for hand collection). |
| Naming Notes | I wanted to incorporate a less used word, and Ransack hit this plus is fun to use. Also, used as an acronym: Rhodococcus Annihilator. Not Stupid, Awesome Cell Killer. |

| Plaque Notes | Very small plaques, most under 1mm, largest usually still under 1.5mm. Blurry or "foggy" centers of plaques suggest a Temperate phage. This is more obvious in spot tests with larger sizes of spots (resulting from higher concentration of phages). |
