| Discovery Notes | The phage GypsyDanger was discovered in soil sample from a stream running across the periphery of the University of Maryland Baltimore County campus. Soil was extracted from approximately 6cm below the damp stream bank very close to the impervious surface of a parking lot. |
| Naming Notes | The name GypsyDanger was chosen because it is something easy and fun to relate to for the students and professors this year. |

| Plaque Notes | GypsyDanger forms standard lytic plaques with one unique feature; if the plaques are incubated longer than 24 hours the larger ones will form distinct haloes around them that all skew in a single direction, resulting in a "falling meteor" shape. These plaques have been reproduced multiple times and are an anomaly, as other phages in the same lab do not produce such distinct, unidirectionally skewed plaques. |
