Reproduction Binary Fission

The wykraline split from the beadline. Now it has a long shape and stays most of time adhered to rocky surfaces, where it can absorb organic compounds held on them. Their long flagellum keeps the characteristic of helps in the moving and expels the not digested materials along all its length. The digestion was improved and is totally concluded on its central compartment, from where arise the numerous cilia. These cilia help it to move, acting like a plume and allowing it to be carried by the ocean currents or, when near to the ocean surface, taking contact with air and spreading it to distant places. Due to reproduction, via binary fission, large areas filled with wykralines are created in the ocean floor and Somarinoa Sea Cave.
