| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Lysogeny Notes | The phage appears to be a lytic phage due to the production of clear, circular plaques when plated on a lawn of Gordonia terrae. The presence of two separate plaque morphologies may indicate that Tron infects bacteria at 2 separate times in the lytic cycle, causing there to be distinct variations in observed plaque sizes. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | Tron shows plaques that are small in size (0.5mm in diameter) and that are clear and circular in shape. After multiple plaque purifications, it also shows consistent plaques that are larger in size (around 2mm in diameter), indicating that the phage produces 2 separate morphologies. |
