Discovery NotesWas collected in the backyard of her home which is home to two dogs. The quality of the soil was dry and grainy.
Naming NotesAfter performing our first round of purification and saw that we had no phage we had to adopt a sample. So we decided that we were looking for the most ideal phage and when we saw the fully cleared plate we made a joke saying that the phage is like a 6’2 blonde hair blue eyes trackstar. Then we decided to call our phage Trackstar.
