| Naming Notes | As the bacteriophage injects its genetic material into the bacteria, it is reminiscent of a needle. In the TV series Game of thrones, there is a sword named needle. Needle was not a name ferocious enough for my phage. I thought of other historical swords, and I lighted upon THE sword. the sword whose name appears again and again. Balthazaar. With a twist. |
