Novosphingobium arabidopsis is a Gram-negative aerobic rod first isolated from the roots of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. It inhabits the root endosphere and rhizosphere of small flowering plants in temperate regions. This chemoheterotroph may form beneficial associations with its plant hosts and degrade root-derived organic compounds.

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.
