![]() | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

edit- 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.
