“…The papers listed in Supplementary Table S1 rely on molecular methods, except for five articles describing the properties of isolated strains [5][6][7][8][9]. The genus Crossiella shows a ubiquitous and extensive geographical distribution on all continents, including Antarctica, but not in Australia/Oceania, likely due to a lack of relevant studies.…”

“…The 16S rRNA nucleotide sequence showed 98% similarity to C. equi. This strain grew well in different culture media and exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity [6]. The authors studied the effects of pH, temperature, carbon and nitrogen sources, sodium chloride concentration, and incubation time on antimicrobial activity.…”

“…Sánchez-Moral [5] isolated a few strains of Crossiella from Altamira Cave, Spain. Adeyemo and Onilude [6] described a strain of Crossiella isolated from Nigerian soil with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Cimermanova et al [7] isolated nine actinobacteria collected from different heavy metal-contaminated soils and found that one strain could represent a new species within the genus Crossiella; however, they did not provide any characterization or description other than its position in the phylogenetic tree and that the strain differed from Crossiella cryophila in several biochemical properties.…”

The genus Crossiella contains two species, C. equi, causing nocardioform placentitis in horses, and C. cryophila, an environmental bacterium. Apart from C. equi, which is not discussed here, environmental Crossiella is rarely reported in the literature; thus, it has not been included among “rare actinobacteria”, whose isolation frequency is very low. After C. cryophila, only five reports cover the isolation of Crossiella strains. However, the frequency of published papers on environmental Crossiella has increased significantly in recent years due to the extensive use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and a huge cascade of data that has improved our understanding of how bacteria occur in the environment. In the last five years, Crossiella has been found in different environments (caves, soils, plant rhizospheres, building stones, etc.). The high abundance of Crossiella in cave moonmilk indicates that this genus may have an active role in moonmilk formation, as evidenced by the precipitation of calcite, witherite, and struvite in different culture media. This review provides an overview of environmental Crossiella, particularly in caves, and discusses its role in biomineralization processes and bioactive compound production.
