obsolete inviable mixed population including germinated spores with elongated germ tubes and cells with normal morphology (obsolete FYPO:0002428)
OBSOLETE. A mixed population phenotype in which all cells in a population are inviable, and the population includes a mixture of germinated spores with elongated germ tubes and vegetative cells of normal size and shape. The vegetative cells arise from division of some of the germinated spores, and may form a microcolony of up to 64 cells.
