Naming NotesThe meaning of "sangak" in Farsi is "pebble". This is in reference to a common flatbread baked in Iran. The dough is thinly laid out on a bed of hot pebbles and is typically eaten fresh. The inspiration for this name came from the rocky nature of the soil samples that the phage was isolated from.
