We have already filmed before Trachelomonas.
A "armoured" and flagellated algae
In this video we look two of them,
one with the usual form
but the other is beginning to divide?
or is another Trachelomonas specie?

Carlos,

Yes, this is a division in progress. After the devision is completed, one or sometimes both cells will exit the lorica through the opening and build a new lorica.

Nice catch!

Best,
Ecki
