abolished cell population growth on methionine nitrogen source abolished methionine utilization abolished vegetative cell population growth on methionine nitrogen source cell population growth on methionine nitrogen source abolished abolished growth on methionine nitrogen source A vegetative cell population growth phenotype in which a cell population does not grow in a medium containing L-methionine as the nitrogen source. FYPO:0001572 Use this term for a population of cells that does not grow with methionine as the nitrogen source, but does grow using a different nitrogen source (a cell population that does not grow on any media would be considered inviable). Note that cell growth terms refer to growth under aerobic conditions unless stated otherwise. 2012-09-20T13:55:30Z midori abolished vegetative cell population growth
