| Plaque Notes | Plaques are clearly visible on plates 10^-3-10^-5. Higher density plates show lawn clearing and overlapping plaques. Lower dilutions show well-isolated plaques suitable for counting. There are both small and medium sized plaques (1-2mm in diameter and 3-5mm in diameter). The plaques are primarily cloudy, small, and round which suggests there is one prominent phage type. |
