Sporosarcina aquimarina is a Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium in the family Planococcaceae, isolated from marine coastal environments. It forms characteristic tetrad or sarcinal clusters of cocci and can produce heat-resistant endospores allowing survival under environmental stress. Members of Sporosarcina have attracted interest for their ability to induce calcium carbonate precipitation, with applications in biocementation.

Sporosarcina thermotolerans is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium capable of surviving elevated temperatures, reflecting its thermotolerant nature. It has been isolated from various terrestrial environments including soil and sediment. This bacterium can form endospores that allow survival under environmental stress, and some strains exhibit the ability to precipitate calcium carbonate.
