| Plaque Notes | The plates showed well-spaced-out plaques with a decent overall plaque count. Nostromo’s plaques are clear with smooth edges and appear to be going through the lytic life cycle, while measuring about 0.5 to 1 millimeters. Plaques have an average size of 2.08 mm and a standard deviation of 0.49 mm. |
