Definition

A cell morphology phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which a cell is viable, is shaped in the form of a spheroid, has a larger volume than normal, and in which vacuoles are more visible (usually by microscopy) than normal. 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.
