Fungal Word Friday: Disjunctor cell

First, I apologize that this is on Saturday and not Friday as it should be, I dropped the ball, much as I have been doing of recent weeks on my more in depth pieces. I will find a way to get back on task.

A Disjunctor cell is a cell that breaks open, or undergoes lysis of some form in order to release a conidium.
