Discovery NotesPhage was discovered at Bushkill Creek in Easton, Pa. The soil sample was taken towards Penn Pump Park and approximately three feet away from the creek. The soil sample was also near a tree and the day the soil sample was taken it was around 7.2 degrees Celsius. In order to collect the soil sample I dug approximately 9cm.
Naming NotesThe phage name came from my own nickname.

Plaque NotesThe plaques have always tended to remain small, approximately .50mm. Also, the plaques are clear and many of them tend to have a halo around them. Another observation I have made is that the plaques are always uniform in size. The plaques look the same after 24 hours, 48 hours, and even 72 hours.
