Morphology
=== Biofilm formation ===


 * In the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Naples, species of Dokdonia were found to be the most abundant in biofilms on plastic debris (4.76 ± 7.1% of genera belonged to Dokdonia).
 * Given that Dokdonia was found on plastics but not in the sediment or water column, it is possible that the habitat in biofilms on plastics is preferable to planktonic growth for species of Dokdonia in the Mediterranean Sea.
