The two stages of true bistage trisphourus now follow a set cycle, the first stage cannot reproduce, and only grows larger as it consumes food. The cells within the second stage, on the other hand, cannot revert back to the first stage, and will die if separated from the main body. Thus, in order to reproduce, the second stage will stop growing upon reaching a certain size, and instead form numerous hard-coated spores along its edges. These spores are released and remain dormant for a few days (allowing them to travel to a new location) before “hatching” and releasing two or three small first stage cells. |
