Discovery NotesThis phage was found in a sample that was collected from a home-built compost pile. The soil was from the bottom of the compost pile, about two feet in the compost box.
Naming NotesThe name for this phage was chosen because the word 'serendipitous' means by luck or chance, which is what the entire process of finding and isolating phage has been.
