How would an ocean of jello evolve

I watched a youtube video on the Darwin IV probe mission to this planet has lower mass than the earth, about the size of Mars, and has a single sea. According to the movie, the microbes that resided in the early oceans somehow recognized that the oceans were evaporating due to some unknown catastrophe. For all intents and purposes, these single-celled organisms act as one, preventing the total evaporation of the seas and mixing with them to form a gelatinous mass.

Is this single-celled oceanic soup possible? If so, how long would the evolution of these colonial organisms take and would that timeframe fit in with the evaporation of a near planet-wide ocean, assuming this planet is in the inner-most ring of the goldi-locks zone?
