| Plaque Notes | The isolated bacteriophage GeeGee formed small, clear plaques on the Arthrobacter globiformis lawn, indicating a lytic phage. The small plaque size may reflect a relatively low diffusion rate or a smaller burst size. Throughout the purification period, GeeGee demonstrated high infectivity and strong viral persistence, consistently producing plaques even on A. globiformis cultures that appeared more resistant than previous batches. This may suggest that GeeGee possesses a high infection capability and remains effective across varying host conditions. |
