Novosphingobium aromaticivorans is a Gram-negative aerobic rod renowned for its ability to degrade a broad spectrum of aromatic compounds including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It has been isolated from diverse soils and sediments contaminated with aromatic pollutants. This versatile bacterium is extensively studied for its bioremediation potential in petroleum-contaminated environments.

Novosphingobium capsulatum is a gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingomonadaceae, characterised by the production of an extracellular capsule. It is found in soil and freshwater environments and belongs to a genus known for aromatic compound degradation. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
