Definition

A cell morphology phenotype in which a vegetatively growing cell is inviable, has a larger volume than normal, and is curved along the long axis. In a curved cell, the long axis follows a smooth bend rather than a straight line. In a swollen cell, both length and diameter may be greater than normal, although the cell is only considered elongated if the length:diameter ratio is also greater than normal.
