Clasificado como Vulnerable, sus poblaciones soportan una presion severa por la rapida perdida de hielo marino artico debida al cambio climatico.
Sphingomonas paucimobilis es una varilla aerobia gramnegativa de pigmentación amarilla ampliamente distribuida en suelo, agua dulce y entornos clínicos en todo el mundo. Tiene baja motilidad y produce glicoesfingolípidos distintivos en su membrana celular. Esta bacteria degrada una amplia variedad de compuestos aromáticos y puede ser un patógeno oportunista en entornos hospitalarios.
