| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 40.44529 N, 79.951904 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Found by Rachel Macko, Michaela Botes, Oldrich Virag, and Cassidy Glunt. The soil utilized was moist soil, with little to no leaf, rock, or stick debris. There were minimal clumps in the soil. The phage produced many plaques, some of varying sizes. |
| Naming Notes | Initially the phage was going to be name after a Disney character, we wanted Zazu from the lion king. However after seeing that that was taken, and Mushu our second choice was taken, we decided to go with Tarzan. |
