Discovery NotesLocation: This soil sample was collected from my hometown of Bethlehem, PA just prior to the start of the semester. I wanted to see if I'd see any luck with some soil from over 300 miles away, just out of curiosity.

The Soil Conditions: I retrieved this soil from my vegetable garden that had been used the previous summer. This soil is used annually to grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, parsley, broccoli and other herbs/vegetables. Every year I use miracle grow nutrients in order to give the plants more of what they need to grow. On the day of soil collection (Jan 8, 2017), the sol was very dry and frozen. The soil appeared "deadened" in that the soil was a gray brown colour and was not very cohesive (sandy/loamy texture). There was a lot of plant detritus mixed in with the soil.

Weather Conditions: At the time of collection, air temperature was -6 degrees celcius. 3 days prior there was a snow storm, with snow from that still present on the ground. Weather over the past 24 hours involved blustering winds, with freezing rain overnight. During the actual collection of the soil however, skies were clear.
Naming NotesNote: the "(r)'s" are silent.

Pronounced zah-bod-nom-ah.

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?" —Richard Dawkins

Plaque NotesMy phage produced clear plaques that vary in diameter size, ranging from diameter = .5mm to diameter = 3mm. The plaques are for the most part entirely circular and form a well defined boundary between where cells underwent lysis, and where cells did not.
