Dispora is a genus of green algae, in the family Coccomyxaceae.[1] It is found in freshwater habitats especially in those with low pH, but it is typically uncommon or rare.[2]
Description
Dispora consists of microscopic colonies of cells, ranging from four to 128, in a homogeneous mucilage. Within the colony, cells are arranged in diads or tetrads, usually as a grid in a flat plane. One species, D. globosa, has globular colonies. Cells are hemispherical, ovate, or triangular; cells are uninucleate with a single parietal chloroplast and no pyrenoids (except for D. globosa). Cells reproduce by simple vegetative division, while colonies may reproduce by fragmentation.[1]
