| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 20°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 38.6441 N, 90.31286 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The phage was collected from a soil sample on a cloudy summer day in August with 66% humidity. The phage was taken from a hole dug 4 cm beneath the surface and was taken from a garden bed area. |
| Naming Notes | The name of the phage was derived from the fact that both researchers (Joao and Ava) are in the WashU Class of 2029. |

| Plaque Notes | Phage was observed to produce very small and turbid plaques on agar, indicating the presence of a potentially larger genome, explaining the slow plaquing rate. Additionally, the presence of both turbid and clear plaques indicates potential classification as a temperate phage. |
