| Found By | Perry Yazzolino & Douglas Kempthorne |
| Year Found | 2014 |
| Location Found | Spokane, WA USA |
| Finding Institution | Gonzaga University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 25°C |
