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 ummariense is a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium first described from Ummari, India, reflecting its geographic isolation locality. It inhabits tropical soils of South Asia. This chemoheterotrophic rod degrades aromatic compounds and other organic substrates in warm terrestrial environments.
