Sphingobium amiense is a Gram-negative aerobic rod with the ability to degrade nonylphenol and related endocrine-disrupting compounds. It has been isolated from activated sludge and polluted soil environments. This bacterium plays a role in the degradation of synthetic surfactants and phenolic pollutants in wastewater treatment systems.

Sphingobium quisquiliarum is a Gram-negative aerobic rod with the capacity to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds found in contaminated environments. It has been isolated from compost and organic waste materials. This bacterium participates in the bioremediation of aromatic organic pollutants in its compost or soil habitat.
