| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 33.911404 N, 117.5023 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil was collected in a small field of dirt. Around it was plants, leaves, and other organic material. Soil was gathered approximately 5 cm below the ground. Time of the collection was 9:51 am when the temperature was 51F. The soil was a bit damp because it had rained last night. |
| Naming Notes | I chose the name because it sounded cool. In addition, the process of discovering this phage was similar to a previous experience I had when learning a violin piece called Scherzo Tarantella. There were some frustrating moments, but in general the process was enjoyable. |
