Novosphingobium fluoreni is a gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingomonadaceae, notable for its ability to degrade fluorene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It inhabits soil and sediment environments contaminated with aromatic pollutants, where it contributes to bioremediation. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

Novosphingobium panipatense is a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium first isolated from oil-contaminated soils near Panipat, India, as its species name indicates. It inhabits oil-contaminated terrestrial environments of South Asia. This chemoheterotroph degrades petroleum hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds, making it relevant for bioremediation.
