obsolete inviable microcolony, branched, curved, elongated cells (obsolete FYPO:0002464)
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 are curved along the long axis, elongated, and branched (and septated). Up to 6 rounds of cell division (generating 64 cells) may be observed, but 3 divisions or fewer is more typical.
