| Plaque Notes | The plaques of PastaFagioli are clear, small, and circular. The clear appearance indicates effective bacterial lysis, while the small size suggests a narrow host range or moderate replication rate. The circular shape reflects uniform lysis across the bacterial lawn, typical of phages with consistent infection patterns. |
