Sphingobium abikonense is a Gram-negative aerobic rod first isolated in Abiko, Japan, capable of degrading xenobiotic compounds. It inhabits contaminated soils and sediments in industrial regions. This chemoheterotrophic bacterium degrades polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds in polluted environments.

Sphingobium quisquiliarum is a Gram-negative aerobic rod with the capacity to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds found in contaminated environments. It has been isolated from compost and organic waste materials. This bacterium participates in the bioremediation of aromatic organic pollutants in its compost or soil habitat.
