Pedobacter ruber is a Gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingobacteriaceae, named for its distinctive red-pigmented colonies. It was isolated from soil environments and is aerobic, non-motile, and rod-shaped. Members of the genus Pedobacter are widely distributed in soil and freshwater habitats where they participate in organic matter decomposition.

Pedobacter suwonensis is a gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingobacteriaceae, originally isolated from soil in Suwon, South Korea. Like other members of the genus, it is an aerobic organism with hydrolytic capabilities and is found in diverse terrestrial environments. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
