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 hankookensis is a yellow-pigmented Gram-negative rod first described from Korean environments, with its species name referencing Korea. It inhabits temperate soils and water bodies of East Asia. This aerobic chemoheterotroph decomposes organic substrates and may degrade aromatic compounds in its environment.
