Pedobacter luteus is a gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingobacteriaceae, producing yellow-coloured colonies. It is found in soil environments and contributes to the decomposition of organic polymers through its hydrolytic enzyme activities. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

Pedobacter roseus is a pink-pigmented, Gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingobacteriaceae, isolated from soil environments. It produces distinctive rosy colonies and inhabits cool to temperate soils with organic matter. This aerobic chemoheterotroph decomposes a variety of organic substrates and produces hyaluronidase-type enzymes.
