Sphingobacterium cladoniae is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium first isolated from the lichen Cladonia. It inhabits lichen thalli and associated substrates in temperate and boreal environments. This bacterium may play roles in nutrient cycling within the lichen microbiome, degrading organic compounds from algal and fungal lichen components.

Sphingobacterium thalpophilum is a thermotolerant Gram-negative rod capable of growth at moderately warm temperatures. It has been isolated from warm soils, compost, and clinical specimens. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades organic compounds over a broader temperature range than most related bacteria.
