inviable swollen elongated cell with enlarged nucleus upon entry into stationary phase (FYPO:0002728)
Definition | Parents |
A cell morphology phenotype in which a vegetative cell is inviable, is swollen, is elongated, and in which the nucleus is larger than normal, when the cell is in a culture entering stationary phase. In a swollen cell, both length and diameter may be greater than normal, although the cell is only considered elongated if the length:diameter ratio is also greater than normal.
