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 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.
