| Discovery Notes | Was collected in the backyard of her home which is home to two dogs. The quality of the soil was dry and grainy. |
| Naming Notes | After 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. |
