| Discovery Notes | The phage was discovered from a sample taken in the Florida Gulf Coast University Food Forest. It was taken from a small little sandy dune. The mulch on top of the sand was brushed away and then the sample was taken from the top 2 inches of soil. Sample was also taken next to some kind of red plant. |
| Naming Notes | After a couple names that were not approved and that I'm not going to specify, I decided to settle on the name of Tachanka. Tachanka is a character in a video game called Rainbow 6 Siege (based off of a Tom Clancy book). In the game Tachanka is a Russian operator that has a mounted large machine gun. The community has dubbed him as "The Lord." The name also refers to a machine gun that was mounted on a horse drawn carriage. Since my phage leaves very large and clear plaques, almost like bullet holes, I decided on the name Tachanka. |
