Sphingobacterium cladoniae is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium first isolated from the lichen Cladonia. It inhabits lichen thalli and associated substrates in temperate and boreal environments. This bacterium may play roles in nutrient cycling within the lichen microbiome, degrading organic compounds from algal and fungal lichen components.

Sphingobacterium pakistanensis is a yellow-pigmented Gram-negative rod first described from soil in Pakistan, reflecting its geographic origin. It inhabits subtropical and tropical soils of South Asia. This aerobic chemoheterotroph breaks down organic compounds in warm, often arid or semi-arid soil environments.
