Sphingobacterium mucilaginosum is a gram-negative, aerobic bacterium in the family Sphingobacteriaceae. It is characterized by the production of a mucilaginous matrix, and like other members of the genus is typically found in soil and aquatic habitats. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

Sphingobacterium yamdrokense is a yellow-pigmented Gram-negative rod first described from Yamdrok Lake in Tibet, China. It inhabits high-altitude lacustrine sediments and cold, alkaline lake environments of the Tibetan Plateau. This aerobic chemoheterotroph is adapted to the extreme conditions of high-altitude saline lakes.
