| Discovery Notes | This phage was found in moist, south-facing soil near a large tree and a creek leading to a marsh. This area is host to many Canadian geese during the winter. The hole was seven centimeters deep, and the air was 22 degrees Celsius. |
| Naming Notes | Maryam is the last name of a character in a webcomic who has a moth for a mother. Due to the relationship between Bacillus thuringiensis subs. Kurstaki and gypsy moths, I thought this would be an appropriate name. |
