Sporosarcina contaminans is a Gram-positive, spore-forming coccus-shaped bacterium distinguished by its ability to form packets of cells arranged in tetrads. It inhabits soil environments and has been isolated from various terrestrial habitats including agricultural soils. This bacterium is chemoheterotrophic, obtaining energy by breaking down organic compounds in its environment.

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.
