Sphingomonas trueperi is a Gram-negative, aerobic yellow-pigmented rod named in honor of microbiologist Heinz Trueper. It inhabits soil and freshwater environments and is distinguished by the production of sphingolipids in its cell membrane. This chemoheterotroph degrades a variety of organic compounds in terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
