| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected near trees by the lake at Benedictine University The site, shaded and near water, is rich in organic material and microbial activity. This site was chosen for its high microbial density, supported by moisture, decomposing matter, and proximity to water. These conditions make it an ideal location to find phages that rely on bacteria as hosts. |
| Naming Notes | The name “Tenaa” comes from a combination of the number 10, which holds special significance to me, and my initials, A.A. The “Ten” honors something personally important in my life, and the “aa” at the end makes the name uniquely mine. Naming this phage was a way to connect my personal identity to the scientific work I’ve done throughout this project. |

| Plaque Notes | Phage Tenaa consistently produced clear, round plaques with an average diameter of 1 mm. The clear edges and uniform shape are characteristic of a lytic phage, indicating strong and complete bacterial lysis. Plaque appearance remained consistent across all plates and temperatures (22°C and 30°C), with no visible halos or turbidity. |
