This is a live streaming of what Arthrospira platensis AKA Spirulina looks like when magnified to 1000 times. This is a cyanobacteria that grows as a long chain of cells than curl in a way to produce a "cork screw" like spiral. After getting so long the filament buds off a small portion. This is what you are seeing. Notice a smooth round edge where they are separating instead of a rip due to turbulence.
