| Discovery Notes | We found this phage at 1:01 pm on September 22, 2022. Sigma Nu (The Rock) at Washington State University was where we found this phage because we mixed pool water with damp dirt that was very thick and clumpy. To enhance the chances of the phage getting discovered was added about 10 ml more of CaCl2 that required. |
| Naming Notes | We named SparkleFairy because she lit up our world and she was our miracle baby. She is strong and whimsical just as a fairy would be. |
