Sphingomonas
''Sphingomonas'' was defined in 1990 as a group of Gram-negative, rod-shaped, chemoheterotrophic, strictly aerobic bacteria. They possess ubiquinone 10 as their major respiratory quinone, contain glycosphingolipids (GSLs), specifically ceramide, instead of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in their cell envelopes, and typically produce yellow-pigmented colonies. The GSL serves to protect the bacteria from antibacterial substances. Unlike most Gram-negative bacteria, ''Sphingomonas'' carries endotoxins and has a hydrophobic surface characterized by the short nature of the GSL's carbohydrate portion. By 2001, the genus included more than 20 species that were quite diverse in terms of their phylogenetic, ecological, and physiological properties. As a result, ''Sphingomonas'' was subdivided into different genera: ''Sphingomonas'', '' Sphingobium'', ''Novosphingobium'', '' Sphingosinicella'', and ''Sphingopyxis''. These genera are commonly referred to collectively as sphingomonads. Distinc ...

Sphingomonas Elodea
''Sphingomonas elodea'' is a species of bacteria in the genus ''Sphingomonas''. This species is important to humans due to the fact that it produces gellan gum, a suitable agar substitute as a gelling agent in various clinical bacteriological media and especially important for the culture growth of thermophilic microorganisms in solid media. When the gellan gum-producing bacterium was first isolated from a natural lily pond it was classified as ''Pseudomonas elodea'' based on the taxonomic classification of that time. However, the gellan gum-producing bacterium was subsequently re-classified as '' Sphingomonas elodea'' based on the current taxonomic classification. ''Sphingomonas elodea'' metabolizes maltodextrin (oligosaccharides of glucose) externally into glucose by the putative exo-acting glucosidase. ''Sphingomonas elodea'' utilizes the Entner-Doudoroff pathway for glucose metabolism. References elodea ''Elodea'' is a genus of 6 species of aquatic plants often cal ...
