division weakens the genetic structure of the cells , so after a moment...
the two Cyphoderia are melting there genetic material to begin a new cell wich will be regenerate.
you can see in an animation made by a friend of mine Jean Marie Cavanihac what's append on Mikroscopia, the french forum http://forum.mikroscopia.com/index.php? ... ic=1373&hl
