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.

Sphingomonas colocasiae is a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium associated with taro plants, as its species name references the genus Colocasia. It inhabits the rhizosphere and phyllosphere of taro plants in tropical regions. This chemoheterotroph participates in plant-associated microbiome functions in tropical agricultural environments.
