| Discovery Notes | Sample was dry and collected one night before initiating direct isolation protocol. Soil sample was stored in a standard fridge overnight in a sealed double ziplock bag, no water was added to the sample. Location of collection is rich with sunlight and wild-life. It is also close to a dog park. This phage was found on a plate with another phage, each of which were separated by plaque picking and further purified individually. |
| Naming Notes | Throughout my life, I have admired owls and have always wished to see one in real life. Not only are they magnificent creatures, they also are a symbol representing wisdom and knowledge. Both phages found in the soil sample were therefore names after different genera of owl species. Hence Tyto and Athene. |
