| Plaque Notes | Initially, when the plaque was first discovered, the plaque was 1 mm in diameter and was cloudy/turbid. After performing serial dilutions, we discovered that the morphology of the plaque is the same. However, the plaques tend to be turbid until they reach a certain concentration of pfu when the phage are able to successfully carry out lysis and therefore resulting in some clear plaques. |
