Schematic of the short-stalked cell cycle. Sessile cells (S) are attached to a surface by means of a polar polysaccharide (gold) and are capable of elongation. Late predivisional cells (PD) produce a polar or subpolar flagellum. Cell division produces two distinct daughter cells: a motile cell (M) with a flagellum and a sessile cell (S) with a polar polysaccharide.
