Small, acid-soluble proteins (SASP) of both the alpha/beta- and gamma-type were present in spores of Sporosarcina ureae and S. halophila, and three genes encoding alpha/beta-type SASP in these species have been cloned and sequenced. The amino acid sequences of the Sporosarcina alpha/beta-type SASP are extremely homologous to those of Bacillus SASP, further indicative of the close evolutionary relationship between these genera.
