| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 34.056805 N, 118.446412 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil was collected from a fenced-in front lawn of an apartment complex located in an urban setting. It was covered with decaying leaves, and was surrounded by Bird of Paradise plants and rose bushes. The soil was saturated as the site is watered with sprinklers daily.
Depth from which sample was taken: 5 cm
Air temperature: 16 degrees C
Isolated in 103BL-F21-1B
