Novosphingobium chloroacetimidivorans is a Gram-negative aerobic rod with the capacity to degrade chloroacetamide herbicides. It has been isolated from herbicide-contaminated soils in agricultural regions. This specialized bacterium plays a role in the natural attenuation of chlorinated organic pollutants in agricultural soils.
Novosphingobium lindaniclasticum is a Gram-negative rod named for its ability to degrade lindane, a persistent organochlorine pesticide. It has been isolated from lindane-contaminated soils and wastewater environments. This specialized bacterium is of significant interest for bioremediation of chlorinated pesticide contamination in agricultural soils.
