These are the samples we collected during the summer of 2003. The American Biology Teacher (ABT) Manuscript (in preparation) indicates which samples contained phage. The intent of this list, for the Jacobs lab, at least, is to identify the soil samples that have been collected. For readers of the ABT manuscsript, this list will help you identify potential locations to find phage.
