| Plaque Notes | Sassafras only produces one plaque morphology. Plaque diameters are only 1-2mm after 24 hours, but plaques grow steadily to over 1cm in diameter after a week of incubation. Low turbidity after 24 hours but then turbidity begins to range in a bulls-eye pattern that becomes more and then less turbid with distance from center. |
