Characteristic clear plaques are formed, at an e.o.p. 10-1 to 10-2, on already confluent bacterial lawns of the mutant strains. Phage growth is sensitive to aeration and growth only occurs under micro-aerophilic conditions. Lysates prepared on the mutant strains cannot transduce in contrast to transducing lysates prepared from wild type Achromobacter strains. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-32-1-45
