Description:
These cells are found in a loose gel-like structure without a protective covering. They are dispersed individually in the matrix, with minimal space between them, often smaller than the cells’ own size. The cells themselves are generally spherical or somewhat round, with diameters ranging from 2 to 7 micrometers.These organisms can form colonies and live in a jelly-like environment, either floating freely or adhering to various surfaces. They come in shades of pale blue-green or darker color.Their method of asexual reproduction involves dividing into two separate cells through binary fission.
