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.

Sphingobium ummariense is a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium first described from Ummari, India, reflecting its geographic isolation locality. It inhabits tropical soils of South Asia. This chemoheterotrophic rod degrades aromatic compounds and other organic substrates in warm terrestrial environments.
