Sphingobium chlorophenolicum is a gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingomonadaceae, renowned for its ability to degrade pentachlorophenol (PCP), a persistent organochlorine pollutant. It inhabits soil and water environments contaminated with chlorophenolic compounds and is a candidate for bioremediation applications. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

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.
