Synula grows into a large colony and divides into smaller ones

Species name: Synura

AL-Museum AL-Museum

Several Synula (colonies of brown flagellates) take turns feeding on a large particle. Successful feeding causes the Synula to grow larger, which makes it difficult to move quickly. One large Synula disappears briefly behind the particle and reappears as two smaller colonies, apparently having divided just out of view.
