Long, cylindrical, bilaterally symmetrical unicells with blunt ends. Ring-like thickening in the central area where the two semicells join. In a good specimen, very delightfull to look at due to obvious intracellular activity, especially at the ends.

Asexual: cells arise from the partitioned parent cell
Sexual: Conjugation (transmission of DNA through nucleus fusion to form a hypnozygote, which is just a term for a zygote that lays dormant until optimal conditions arise)
