| Plaque Notes | Plaques are turbid and have a “halo” around them, indicating that the phages are temperate and either undergo lysogeny or lysis. The purification used to get this plate involved diluting a crude lysate of phage to try and isolate a singular species from a plate where all clearings presented with similar morphology and size. |
