obsolete inviable microcolony, stubby septated cells (obsolete FYPO:0002204)
OBSOLETE. A cell population phenotype in which a cell undergoes one or a few rounds of cell division before cells die, resulting in the formation a colony that contains only a few inviable cells that each contain one or more septa, and in which the cell diameter is larger than normal and the cell length is shorter than normal. Up to 6 rounds of cell division (generating 64 cells) may be observed, but 3 divisions or fewer is more typical.
