| Discovery Notes | My environmental sample was taken right beside the kissing bridge on WKU campus, with coordinates 36°59'14.7258"N 86°27'7.833"W. My sample was taken on 8-29-22 at 5:13 pm. The temperature when my sample was taken was 27.22 degrees Celsius. The spot where it was taken was dry with the sample being taken from the topsoil around 3 inches deep. There was some debris with various leaves and sticks by the sample. There was also some roots from nearby trees mixed with the soil sample as well. |

| Plaque Notes | My plaques are very small in size with some variation. The smallest plaques had a size of 2 mm in diameter with the larger plaques being around 5 mm in diameter. They also have a hazy shape with some plaques sticking to each other in clusters. My plaques also show signs of turbidity which means that it is lysogenic. |
