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 roseus is a pink-pigmented, Gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingobacteriaceae, isolated from soil environments. It produces distinctive rosy colonies and inhabits cool to temperate soils with organic matter. This aerobic chemoheterotroph decomposes a variety of organic substrates and produces hyaluronidase-type enzymes.
