| Discovery Notes | This 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 Notes | The 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. |
