Novosphingobium soli is a gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingomonadaceae, originally isolated from soil. Members of this genus are known for their ability to degrade aromatic compounds and are widely distributed in terrestrial environments. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

Sphingobium mellinum is a Gram-negative aerobic rod with the distinctive ability to degrade melamine, a synthetic nitrogen-rich organic compound. It has been isolated from environments contaminated with melamine-containing compounds. This specialized bacterium participates in the bioremediation of nitrogen-containing synthetic chemical pollutants.
