| Discovery Notes | When collecting the soil sample from which the phage SummitO originated, the soil was very dry and crumbly with a temperature of 71.9℉. This soil sample was collected from a couple of centimeters deep under a shaded tree where an old compost pile used to be. |
| Naming Notes | The name for the SummitO phage was inspired by my dog's name. I knew I wanted the name of my phage to mean something personal to me, so I chose SummitO. |

| Plaque Notes | Over time, as the SummitO phage population has gone through multiple lysates and titers. These titers have yielded larger, turbid yet slightly clear plaques on the plates—specifically, those with more isolated phages. Over time, mutants became more prominent on the more crowded plates. These mutants turned out to be clear plaque mutants, which the lysogen host cells became immune to. Through Measurements and analyzing past phage sizes, the average plaque size is around 0.45cm in diameter. |
