| Detailed Information for Phage TribleTrouble |
| Discovery Information |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Sofia Sileo |
| 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 | 36.986335 N, 86.454495 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil was collected by a tree near a common walkway on Western Kentucky’s Campus 2 inches below the surface of the soil. It was chosen due the large amount of dead leaves littering the surface. Additionally, the soil was dry and crumbly. |
| Naming Notes | The phage is named after my mom using her maiden name, Trible. |

| Other Cluster Members |
|
| Annotating Institution | Western Kentucky University |
| Annotation Status | Being Annotated (Expected completion by 6/30/2023) |
| Plaque Notes | The phage produces turbid plaques. Turbid plaques indicates my phage goes through the lysogenic cycle (integrates its DNA into the host's genome). The plaques are consistently 1 to 2 mm in diameter. |
| Morphotype | Siphoviridae |
| Has been Phamerated? | Yes |
