| Plaque Notes | Rafikki plaques are small (~1mm in diameter) with slight variation in size. In comparison with D29 plaques, the Rafikki plaques are moderately turbid and, again, much smaller in size. Rafikki plaques consistently achieved their full growth potential at or before the 24 hour mark with respect to the size and number of plaques. |
