''Skeletonema dohrnii'' is a
diatom. Together with ''
S. marinoi'', this species has flattened extremities of the processes of the fultoportulae, which interlock with those of succeeding valves without forming knuckles.
It is a species of the genus ''Skeletonema'' that can be found in many waters across the globe. In the coastal waters of South Korea, their cell diameters are about 3 to 6 micrometers.
