| Discovery Notes | Note: Sample was adopted from another group in the class. Sample was collected from beneath the roots of a 7-year-old pomegranate tree that had been fertilized with homemade organic compost approximately 3 months prior to collection. Sample was collected from a depth of 6 inches on the south facing side which receives half a day of direct sunlight. The temperature at the time was 94 degrees Fahrenheit. The soil was sandy and filled with rocks and decaying matter |
| Naming Notes | Our group wanted to honor the first two places where we attempted to collect samples and isolate a phage. The places were Virgin River, Utah and Little Jamaica, Arizona. |
