Pedobacter kyungheensis is a Gram-negative rod first isolated from soil near Kyung Hee University in South Korea. It inhabits temperate agricultural and natural soils of East Asia. This aerobic chemoheterotroph breaks down organic matter and polysaccharides in its soil habitat through extracellular enzyme production.

Pedobacter ruber is a Gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingobacteriaceae, named for its distinctive red-pigmented colonies. It was isolated from soil environments and is aerobic, non-motile, and rod-shaped. Members of the genus Pedobacter are widely distributed in soil and freshwater habitats where they participate in organic matter decomposition.
