33. A cluster of spore-like cells, comprising spore-like cells that
are multipotent; -
are approximately one-tenth to seven microns in diameter; are viable following oxygen-deprivation for a period of twenty four hours and have an outer membrane containing one or more dark stripes when viewed by transmission electron microscopy, wherein the aggregate of spore-like cells is produced by culturing isolated spore-like cells. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
