Novosphingobium arabidopsis is a Gram-negative aerobic rod first isolated from the roots of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. It inhabits the root endosphere and rhizosphere of small flowering plants in temperate regions. This chemoheterotroph may form beneficial associations with its plant hosts and degrade root-derived organic compounds.

Sphingomonas aquatilis is a yellow-pigmented Gram-negative rod adapted to aquatic environments, as its name suggests. It has been isolated from rivers, lakes, and drinking water systems worldwide. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades dissolved organic matter in freshwater habitats and can colonize drinking water distribution systems.
