| Discovery Notes | The soil was collected on January 24, 2021, at 8:00 pm under a big tree in front of the main entrance of McShain Residence Hall in Saint Joseph's University, behind the statue, picnic tables surround the tree. In the Merion Station side of campus. The soil was collected from a depth of 20 cm and it was moist and frozen. The ambient temperature was -4 degrees Celcius. The ambient humidity was 38%. The night was cloudy and windy. Phage measurements averaged 35nm (head) and 179nm (tail), n=8. Likely belongs to B3 cluster based on PCR using cluster-specific primers. |
| Naming Notes | The name of my phage came from the nickname of my friend that helped me find the soil sample where it was found. |
