Chlamydomonas motile algae splitting by mitosis, and one daughter swims away

I was trying to capture a timelapse of the nearby dead ciliate being eaten by bacteria, and to my surprise I ended up catching this nearby likely Chlamydomonas sp. splitting into two!

Sorry about posting so frequently, but this was such an exciting thing to see when reviewing the overnight footage :D

Edit: I captured another one! This time smoother video and i think better focus. https://video.nyc/w/v8p5soBVeiYuc4EmUxCo6w
