Sporosarcina is a genus of bacteria.
The cells of Sporosarcina are either shaped like a rod or like a bowl (coccoid). Most species are able to move (motile).[1] All species of Sporosarcina are capable of aerobic respiration using oxygen.[2] Some species have the enzyme urease and can break down urea.[1] The species S. ureae is common in the soil where cattle live.
