| Discovery Notes | Phage Ruyi was isolated from saturated soil, collected on 04/03/2022 by Norman Hsu. The location where Norman found the phage was an urban area with trees and office buildings. The sample contained some wood and leaf debris and was taken at a depth of about 8cm. The air temperature at time of collection was 22C. Ruyi was isolated through direct plating at 35C.

| Naming Notes | In Chinese mythology, the monkey king Sun Wukong wields a quarterstaff named “Ruyi Bang”. This staff’s unique trait is its ability to expand and shrink at the will of its wielder. Ruyi’s distinct gradient of plaque sizes have marked it as worthy of this legendary name! |
