| Discovery Notes | We collected a sample of soil right outside of Speer Chapel on the campus of LeTourneau University. It was cloudy and humid when the sample was collected. It had been raining the night before, so the soil was fairly moist. There were lots of thin roots in the soil, and ants were seen in the surrounding soil. There were also small holes, possibly for snakes or worms, in the surrounding soil. |
| Naming Notes | One day in lab, we were doing serial dilutions for a round of purification. Dr. Baliraine asked us how we told our smeg cell tubes and our phage buffer tubes apart. We said the phage buffer tubes (with our plaque) had the "skinny" sharpie marker on them. And from there we've called our phage "Skinny." |
