Se estudiaron las diatomeas epilíticas y las condiciones fisicoquímicas del agua en el río Tapartó Andes, Colombia. El perifiton se colectó en cuatro campañas de muestreo, en tres estaciones del río: parta alta, media y baja. El material fue tratado con peróxido caliente y se prepararon muestras en Naphrax para observación al microscopio óptico y al microscopio electrónico. Se identificaron 49 especies de diatomeas, se reportan por primera vez para Colombia las especies Amphipleura chiapasensis, Cymbella cf. ehrenbergii, Encyonema minutiforme, Encyonema silesiacum, Pseudostaurosira aff. americana, Pseudostaurosira medliniae, Surirella bryophila, además se registran las condiciones fisicoquímicas en las que se encuentran las diatomeas. Esta información es importante para incorporarla dentro de métodos de monitoreo biológico que emplean las diatomeas y sus valores de bioindicación. Con este trabajo se aumenta el conocimiento en la distribución de las diatomeas en el país y de las condiciones fisicoquímicas a las que se pueden asociar. Epilithic diatoms and water physicochemical conditions were studied on the Tapartó river located in the municipality of Andes, Colombia. The periphyton was collected in four sampling campaigns, in three stations of the river: upper, middle and lower sections.The material was treated with hot peroxide samples were prepared in Naphrax for observation under an optical microscope and for observation under a scanning electron microscope. 49 diatoms were identified, of which the species Amphipleura chiapasensis, Cymbella cf. ehrenbergii, Encyonema minutiforme, Encyonema silesiacum, Pseudostaurosira aff. americana, Pseudostaurosira medliniae, Surirella bryophila are reported for the first time in Colombia, besides the physicochemical conditions are recorded in which the predominant diatoms are found. This information is important to incorporate it into biological monitoring methods that use diatoms and their bioindication values. This work increases the knowledge in the distribution of diatoms in the country and the physicochemical conditions to which they can be associated.
