| Found By | Mustafa Mahmood |
| Year Found | 2022 |
| Location Found | Lisle, IL United States |

| From enriched soil sample? | Unknown |
| Isolation Temperature | 22°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 41.77454 N, 88.09745 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil was moist due to rain and thunderstorms the night before. In the morning, the soil was a little hardened but was still soft and moist when collected at 8:25 A.M. I used a digger and reached about 2-3 inches before extracting approximately ½ pound of soil. The soil sample is dark brown/black and resembles a dark brown grainy clay. It also contains small pieces of grass, wood-chips, and rocks. |
| Naming Notes | I named my phage "Contaminated" because during the first few experiments performed in our BIOL 1199 class I had contamination present in my plates and on my phage. Also, after naming it Contaminated I did not get Contamination on from any of my experiments, until the very last, where my isolated phage was contaminated and I had different phages present in my digest image. |

| Plaque Notes | Phage "Contaminated" was characterized as Lytic, due to being clear and having an sharp edge curve. The phage was measured to be 1 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm in radius. Although in the concluding process of this experiment my phage ironically resulted to be contaminated where there was another phage present. |
