| Plaque Notes | Density dependent morphology. Comet-shaped plaque with very light turbidity around it. Small (1 mm diameter head) with a tail approximately 2-3 mm in length. When the plate is too densely populated, morphology becomes clear, circular, pinprick-sized plaques. Grows at 42°C, though slightly more turbid in this environment than in its normal 37°C incubation temperature. Plaques are full-grown and undergo no further change after incubated at 37°C for fifty hours. |
