Sporosarcina soli is a Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium found in soil environments, as its species epithet suggests. Cells are characteristically coccoid and may form packet-like arrangements. It is a chemoheterotroph that decomposes organic matter in terrestrial soils across various geographic regions.

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.
