| Discovery Notes | Gathered from the flower beds in front of the Covenant Fine Arts Center. The sample was very dark but well fertilized and relatively moist. The temperature was 35 degrees Celsius. |
| Naming Notes | The orange hue of the Gordonia Bacteria which the phage battles against is reminiscent of the color of yams. The phage also managed to make its first appearance with only a direct plating of the sample. This is a very snazzy occurrence. For the aforementioned reasons, the phage was named "YamsAreSnazzy". |
