Hello Everyone,
This time I’ve observed this filamentous form which appeared to gliding just like the cyanobacteria we observed in Manu Sir’s post a few days ago. I could see it moving back and forth but not rotating. I haven’t been able to recognize what organism this is. Please help me identify it, I’d love to know what it is.My guess is Ulothrix.

After a while it slowed down and appeared to undergo fragmentation. It happened very quickly and I was lucky enough to be able to capture it because I missed the first division where the entire fragment divided in two.
The water sample has been collected from Prabhadevi Beach in Mumbai and both the videos are real time.
