decreased cell population growth on glycerol/ethanol carbon source abolished vegetative cell population growth abolished cell population growth on glycerol/ethanol carbon source Use this term for a population of cells that does not grow with glycerol and ethanol as the carbon sources, but does grow using a different carbon 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. A vegetative cell population growth phenotype in which a cell population does not grow in a medium containing glycerol and ethanol as the carbon sources. abolished growth on glycerol/ethanol carbon source abolished vegetative cell population growth on glycerol/ethanol carbon source 2014-08-18T11:51:55Z FYPO:0003690 cell population growth on glycerol/ethanol carbon source abolished midori
