Micrasterias desmids dividing. Differential interference contrast micrograph of Micrasterias sp. desmid green algae, showing one dividing through the process of binary fission (lower left). Desmids are a common group of freshwater single-celled algae that have intricate cell walls. Micrasterias is highly adapted to nutrient poor, acidic water.
