Desmids: The Symmetrical Algae That's Full of Crystals

https://youtu.be/qV0udTvYK6M

Why the mirroring? It has been observed in trees and plants that a fractal pattern is better for photosynthesis than light just shining on the leaves. Maybe same purpose for the symmetry? Secondly, why have more asymmetry when it is genetically cheaper to have a mirror of your self: less DNA required for twice the surface area for food? Maybe a form of cell division since the isthmus is a division that could limit transport of nutrients between the two halfs?
Also, closterum could be getting energy or using strontium or barium for protein?
