Chroococcus dispersus (Keissl.) Lemmermann belongs to the group of planktic Chroococcus species, classified into subgroup Limnococcus.

Chroococcus disperses was first discovered by Lemmermann(1902) in Europe and is distributed in Europe, Central and South America, and Northern Asia, alomost over the world but rarely recorded from tropical regions. The distribution and characteristics of Chroococcus disperses in tropical regions have yet to be clarified.

Ttheir diversity and the distribution of various morphotypes are little known.

They are usually identified basically according to cell size.

They are freshwater species.

They are a unicellular cyanobacterium, and used in some research about its chemical reaction and absortion of ions.

Chroococcus dispersus PTCC 1677 indicated widespread spectrum of antimicrobial activities. Bioautography and Bioassay-guided fraction of culture medium of the Chroococcus dispersus exhibited a polar substance in the culture medium as well.

Live Chroococcus dispersus algae for the removal of As, Cd, Co, Cr, and Fe from aqueous solutions as batch was investigated. The data confirmed the validity of second-order polynomial equation for the removal of As, Cd, Co, Cr, and Fe with Chroococcus dispersus algae.

Microalgae play an important role during the tertiary treatment of municipal wastewater. Cell immobilization techniques have been developed in order to improve the quality of the treated wastewater and avoid wash out of the biomass. Since cell immobilization method may affect the nutrient removal efficiency, microalgae were immobilized in sodium alginate gel in different-diameter circular screens, and orthophosphate removal efficiency from municipal wastewater was studied. Among all microalgae treatments, Chroococcus dispersus MCCS 006 had the highest PO3- 4 -P removal efficiency of  72.3% within 12 days.

Many studies not mentioned in this article are currently underway regarding Chroococcus dispersus. In addition to its characteristics, the main research directions include its interactions and applications in agriculture, aquatic environments, and microbial ecosystems.
