The cell diameter at the narrow end is smaller than that of a wild-type cell. cell morphology, bottle/skittle during nitrogen starvation tapered cell during nitrogen depletion skittle-shaped cell during nitrogen starvation tapered cell during nitrogen deprivation bottle-shaped cell during nitrogen starvation This term can be used for any circumstances in which cells are starved for nitrogen. Note that cells may enter G0 (quiescence) when subjected to prolonged nitrogen starvation; this term is not restricted to G0. Note that the difference between 'tapered cell' (FYPO:0000014) and 'spindle-shaped cell' (FYPO:0007230) is that a tapered cell is narrow at only one end, whereas a spindle-shaped cell is narrow at both ends.
