Abstract

The effects of calcein, a fluorescent marker commonly used to assess mineral growth in calcifying organisms, on calcite and aragonite structure have been investigated. Calcein is entrapped within calcite and aragonite and modifies the shape and morphology of both polymorphs. Moreover, in the presence of Mg²⁺, it inhibits aragonite formation in favor of magnesium calcite.
