| Discovery Notes | This phage was isolated from a soil sample collected by John Purdue's headstone on the Purdue University campus. The soil sample was collected at approximately 6:30 pm on 8-29-16, approximately 5 cm below the top of the soil. The soil had a low moisture content and was collected in an urban area with a high amount of foot traffic. There was cement, trees, a water fountain, and lots of squirrel traffic around the area. The area the soil was collected from was slightly sloped facing east and there was a little bit of mulch in the soil. |
| Naming Notes | The name for this phage comes from the TV show "Friends." One of the main characters has a fake name that she uses occasionally and that name is "Regina Phalange." We wanted to name the phage "ReginaPhagelange," however this is too long so we had to settle for "ReginaPhalange." |
