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.

Sphingomonas mucosissima is a yellow-pigmented, highly mucoid Gram-negative rod producing abundant exopolysaccharides that give colonies a very slimy appearance. It inhabits freshwater and associated sediment environments. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades organic matter and may form biofilms in aquatic environments due to its extensive polysaccharide production.
