| Plaque Notes | The plaques appear circular, well-defined, and moderately uniform in size across the plate. Plaques are medium-sized, averaging approximately 4.28 mm in diameter. They display a clear to slightly turbid center, suggesting a lytic phage but with some degree of partial clearing. Edges are smooth and distinct, with no halo formation visible. Plaques are evenly distributed across the lawn with consistent morphology, indicating a stable phage population. |
