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 saromensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, coccoid bacterium isolated from the saline Lake Saroma in Hokkaido, Japan. It is adapted to cold and moderately saline conditions typical of its original habitat. Like other Sporosarcina species, it can form resistant endospores and some strains exhibit carbonate precipitation activity, relevant to biomineralisation research.
