| Discovery Notes | The phage was discovered from dirt on a storm drain grate, located between Herak and the Foley Library at Gonzaga University. The soil was a greyish brown and a mixture of pasty and fine, loose soil. The drain had a strong odor of decaying material, such as dying plant matter (decomposing leaves from the nearby trees) |
| Naming Notes | Because of Jonathan and Niccolo's initial mishaps, the duo was dubbed "Team Deficient". The duo wished to name the phage after their instructor, Dr. Brian Connolly, but phage-naming protocol insisted on not using real-life names. And so the next best option for them was to name the phage after themselves. The duo concluded with: "TeamDeficient" |
