The symmetries of complex molecular structures can be modeled by the {em topological symmetry group} of the underlying embedded graph. It is therefore important to understand which topological symmetry groups can be realized by particular abstract graphs. This question has been answered for complete graphs; it is natural next to consider complete bipartite graphs. In previous work we classified the complete bipartite graphs that can realize topological symmetry groups isomorphic to $A_4$, $S_4$ or $A_5$; in this paper we determine which complete bipartite graphs have an embedding in $S^3$ whose topological symmetry group is isomorphic to $mathbb{Z}_m$, $D_m$, $mathbb{Z}_r imes mathbb{Z}_s$ or $(mathbb{Z}_r imes mathbb{Z}_s) ltimes mathbb{Z}_2$.
