Novosphingobium arabidopsis is a Gram-negative aerobic rod first isolated from the roots of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. It inhabits the root endosphere and rhizosphere of small flowering plants in temperate regions. This chemoheterotroph may form beneficial associations with its plant hosts and degrade root-derived organic compounds.

Sphingomonas parapaucimobilis is a yellow-pigmented, Gram-negative aerobic rod closely related to Sphingomonas paucimobilis. It inhabits soil, water, and clinical environments worldwide. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades aromatic compounds and can be an occasional opportunistic pathogen in healthcare settings.
