Identifying phycosphere composition of diatoms but I want to know how to separate the bacteria living in the media

To separate bacteria living in the media from diatoms and identify the phycosphere composition of diatoms, you need to apply a method that will establish

1. How to collect and prepare the sample

2. Differential centrifugation

3. Filtration and

4. Analysis of Diatoms and Bacteria

If you so desire the method ; Contact [email protected].
