| Found By | Sarah Maloney |
| Year Found | 2022 |
| Location Found | Bowling Green, KY United States |
| Finding Institution | Western Kentucky University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 36.9876 N, 86.45342 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected two inches deep in a landscaped area within a semi-circular concrete structure. The soil was dark brown and powdery. A layer of wood mulch covered the area of collection. No plants were growing in the soil. |
| Naming Notes | The plaques create whisker-like formations, so this phage is named after my late cat, Rocky. |
