| Discovery Notes | The soil sample from which this phage was extracted was taken from a stream bank 2 meters from the water, and 3 meters from a concrete sidewalk. It was taken from a depth of 5 centimeters below the surface, and was dry in consistency. The temperature was 25 degrees Celsius, with a 79% humidity. It was collected on the 28th of August, 2013. |
| Naming Notes | "Twitch" seemed like an appropriate name for a mycobacteriophage. |
