Novosphingobium lindaniclasticum is a Gram-negative rod named for its ability to degrade lindane, a persistent organochlorine pesticide. It has been isolated from lindane-contaminated soils and wastewater environments. This specialized bacterium is of significant interest for bioremediation of chlorinated pesticide contamination in agricultural soils.

Novosphingobium panipatense is a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium first isolated from oil-contaminated soils near Panipat, India, as its species name indicates. It inhabits oil-contaminated terrestrial environments of South Asia. This chemoheterotroph degrades petroleum hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds, making it relevant for bioremediation.
