Notes

Growth characteristics: doubling time = ~ 62.8 h; Morphology: cells of this cell line are long and thin shuttle cells; Karyology: percentage of cells with the chromosome number 2n = 56 was 76.28%, therefore considered a diploid cell line; Unique properties: cell cycle-control genes BmCyclinB and BmCyclinB3 of the G2 and M phase were highly expressed in BmSG-SWU1 cells.
