Development and Division
[edit]Young vegetative cells begin oblong and oval shaped, but eventually become rounded and spherical after aging. Cell division has a chance of resulting in production of zoospores. If the cell is vegetative, division may result in the formation of packets, most likely four, but can get up to thirty-two cells in two/three planes. [2]
