| Naming Notes | I chose the name Xenia because it is a Greek word meaning "hospitality" and signifies a long friendship. This was my first research project and my phage and I have been in it together all throughout my journey which is why I thought that friendship would be a perfect way to describe my phage. We will be friends forever! |
