| Plaque Notes | The plate contains numerous circular plaques that are well-distributed across the agar surface. Plaques vary slightly in size, with most being small to medium in diameter. The plaques have clear zones of lysis, indicating complete bacterial cell destruction caused by phages. The edges of the plaques are well-defined and uniform, suggesting a lytic phage rather than a temperate one. |
