| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 38°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 31.547986 N, 97.120278 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Dry soil was collected from a location under a tree next to an Exxon gas station near the campus of Baylor University in Waco, TX by Rozi H. The soil was enriched by Mackenzie Kallemeyn in fall 2014 and she archive DaBears. EeyoreJr was also isolated from this soil lysate. |
| Naming Notes | Under Mackenzie Kallemeyn, the phage was named "DaBears," but was never cataloged. Sarah Heady renamed the phage "Saphira" after the dragon in Eragon. |
