The nucleus and protoplasm divide into two parts, the valves are pushed a little apart, and two new valves develop within the old ones. Thus each of the daughter-cells gets one of the I â J u. valves from the mother-cell tgr and a new valve that joins on to it (see Fig. 212, c). When once the valves have acquired their shape they seem incapable of expanding, so that the cell FlG- 2I3- generations will gradually be- a, b, Lauderia anmdata. a, Cell with the pig- «- J U 1 ment granules (chromatophores) in normal COme Contracted in the plane position, collected early in the morning ; b, [n Which division takes place. chain from the surface of the sea, 3 p.

Algae can, however, regenerate their original size, by throwing off their old valves, growing into a larger bladder with a thin expansible skin, and forming within it new valves that are two or three times as large as the old ones. This is the so-called auxospore development (see Fig. 214). Auxospore Diatoms occur in quantities over the whol
