| Discovery Notes | The weather was a bit chilly and it was night time. It rained a bit earlier that day. There were worms in the soil. I used a garden shovel to get this soil and it was a little over 2 inches deep. There were also roots in this soil. The soil area is also near my family's pool, it’s not like water from there exactly reaches here, but it is good to mention. I chose this area because it’s where sunlight is exposed to the most. Also, when rain is pouring, it’s not exactly pouring on this part of soil, but rather the drips from the trees that are covering it. There are also many squirrels and chipmunks that like to run around this area, and it always gets mowed every few weeks or so. I hoped that there would be a lot of bacteria and phages from this soil sample. |
| Naming Notes | The name of the phage came from how abnormally large the plaque was (5mm). Actually, originally it was named Pepperoni, but unfortunately that was already taken. |

| Plaque Notes | Last Pass, with Globiformis 2880 is the sample i can talk the most about and has actual results. There were no bubbles, agar had no problem as it was smooth everywhere. There were exactly 14 plaques, and 3 of them were large, one of them even being 5 ml in size. The PFU was 28. The plaque's circle edges are cloudy and clear, the centers are also clear. By confirmation of my LA, and my own observations, all the phages are lytic. One of the smaller ones was adopted as well. |
