| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 42.37595 N, 72.504425 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was taken from underneath a rock, beneath a shrub, in a backyard covered in dense organic material. The soil was covered with semi-decomposed leaves, and twigs. There were colonies of ants nearby. The area also had several other insects, including crickets, and spiders. The soil was dry and dark brown in color. The ambient temperature was approximately 29°C. |
| Naming Notes | The name of the phage is after a friend who helped me document the collection of the soil sample from which I was able to isolate the phage. |
