Naming NotesMany of the names I originally wanted to use were taken. I wanted to name my phage Wednesday after Wednesday Addams and started looking at days of the week for a name. Since Saturday was one of the only days of the week not taken, and since Saturday is my favorite day of the week, I named my phage Saturday.

Plaque NotesThis phage tends to create clear, circular, midsize-to-large plaques near the center of the bacterial lawn. However, this pattern changes when the phage is at different concentrations; for example, in smaller concentrations, the size of the plaques made by the phage seem to get very tiny and have almost a bull's-eye-like pattern to them.
