| Discovery Notes | This phage was found in a slightly muddy and very grassy area behind the Integrated Science Building. It was located just off the sidewalk near a staircase, with a few bushes behind the spot. |
| Naming Notes | We inspire the name "Touchdown" from the football game. The meaning of touchdown is a scoring play in American football achieved when a player carries the ball into the opponent's end zone or catches it there. Otherwise, this name obeys the naming rule, so it is a good reason to pick this name. |
