| Discovery Notes | I gathered my dirt sample a few feet from the bus stop by North Campus. I dug around 2 inches deep into the ground before grabbing my sample. Despite the rain drizzling, the texture of the sample was dry, it also contained some weeds and plant roots. |
| Naming Notes | When looking at the phages, I noticed that they were very turbid with a dark center. To me, they reminded me of the dandelion plant so I named my phage Taraxacum, the Latin name of dandelion. |
