Novosphingobium rhizosphaerae is a Gram-negative aerobic rod associated with the plant rhizosphere environment, as its species name suggests. It inhabits the root zone of various plants in temperate soils. This chemoheterotroph decomposes root exudates and organic matter in the plant rhizosphere, potentially influencing plant nutrition and health.
