Dispora

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] 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.

Cells are hemispherical, ovate, or triangular; cells are uninucleate with a single parietal chloroplast and no pyrenoids (except for D. globosa).
