| Plaque Notes | On a lot of my plates there was evidence of a polymorphic phage, where there were multiple different sizes of plaques on one plate. The smaller plaques would appear after 48hr. All of them were circular, clear plaques, with the bigger plaques being not as perfect circles but more like splotches. |
