T-shaped vegetative cell with normal cell length T-shaped cell with normal cell length during vegetative growth A cell morphology phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which cell length is normal, and a new growth zone forms along the lateral portion of the cell (often in the middle) before septation, such that a single cell grows in the form of the letter T. 2011-03-29T05:53:56Z T-shaped vegetative cell with normal cell length during mitotic cell cycle One distinction between T-shaped and other branched cells is that in T-shaped cells the new growth zone forms before NETO. A T-shaped cell may septate perpendicular to the normal septation axis, and divide to form normal-shaped daughter cells. Note that if you have done an experiment that assays the viability of a population of cells, such as looking at colony growth or growth in liquid culture, you should also annotate to 'viable cell population' (FYPO:0002058) or one of its descendants. cell morphology, T shaped with normal cell length during vegetative growth midori FYPO:0000013 T-shaped vegetative cell
