Plaque Notes	After 48 hours at 34 degrees Celcius, Asterius plaques show two distinct morphologies: one larger comet tail plaque type with a clear center and then increasingly turbid ring/tail, and a smaller pinprick plaque type with a clear center and turbid ring. The larger plaques have a diameter of about 1.5mm, and the smaller pinpricks have a diameter of about 0.3-0.5mm.
Morphotype	Myoviridae
Has been Phamerated?	Yes
