Sarcina is a genus of Gram-positive cocci bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae.[2][3][4] A synthesizer of microbial cellulose,[5] various members of the genus are human flora and may be found in the skin [6] and large intestine.[7] The genus takes its name from the Latin word "sarcina," meaning pack or bundle, after the cuboidal (2x2x2) cellual associations they form during division along three planes.[8]

The genus's type species is Sarcina ventriculi, a variety found on the surface of cereal seeds, in soil, mud, and in the stomachs of humans, rabbits, and guinea pigs.[9]
