Summary: This method can be used to assess and quantify the rate of silica deposition (bSi) over time in diatoms to determine their rate of frustule synthesis. This protocol has been adapted for the processing of both cultures as well as environmental samples when inoculated with PDMPO [2‐(4‐pyridyl)‐5‐((4‐(2dimethylaminoethylaminocarbamoyl)methoxy)phenyl)oxazole], which is a fluorescent dye that is co-deposited with silica during frustule biosynthesis in a 3230:1 Si:PDMPO (mol:mol) ratio.
