Luteimonas mephitis is a Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented bacterium isolated from soil environments with an unpleasant odor, referenced in its species name meaning stench. It inhabits organic-rich soils and sediments. This aerobic chemoheterotroph participates in the breakdown of sulfur-containing and other malodorous organic compounds.

Luteimonas padinae is a yellow-pigmented, Gram-negative bacterium first isolated from the brown alga Padina in marine environments. It inhabits coastal marine habitats, particularly in association with macroalgae. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades organic compounds derived from algal tissues and marine organic matter.
