T-shaped cell during recovery from stationary phase A cell morphology phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which 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, when the cell population has been in stationary phase and is then placed in conditions that allow recovery. T-shaped cell during vegetative growth following stationary phase One distinction between T-shaped and other branched cells is that in T-shaped cells the new growth zone forms before NETO. midori 2013-11-08T12:07:19Z FYPO:0002848 T-shaped cell during recovery from stationary phase during mitotic cell cycle T-shaped vegetative cell
