Most " Corynebacterium " are harmless but some cause serious illness in humans, especially in immunocompromised humans . " C . ulcerans " has been known to cause diphtheria and diphtheria-like infections in patients.

""'Corynebacterium amycolatum " "'is a Gram-positive, nonspore-forming, aerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacillus capable of fermentation with propionic acid as the major end product of its glucose metabolism.
43.
Cases of bacterial conjunctivitis that involve the production of membranes or pseudomembranes are associated with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, ?-hemolytic streptococci, and C . diphtheriae . " Corynebacterium diphtheriae " causes membrane formation in conjunctiva of non-immunized children.
44.
"' Sarcosine oxidase "'is an enzyme ( ) that Corynebacterial sarcosine oxidase is a heterotetramer and is produced as an inducible enzyme when " Corynebacterium sp . " is grown with sarcosine as source of carbon and energy.
45.
Bacteria can be used for the industrial production of amino acids . " Corynebacterium glutamicum " is one of the most important bacterial species with an annual production of more than two million tons of amino acids, mainly L-glutamate and L-lysine.
46.
The isofunctional enzymes of catechol 1, 2-dioxygenase from species of " Acinetobacter ", " Pseudomonas ", " Nocardia ", " Alcaligenes " and " Corynebacterium " oxidize 3-methylcatechol according to both the intradiol and extradiol cleavage patterns.
47.
Purpura hemorrhagica can also rarely be seen after infection with " S . equi " subsp . " zooepidemicus ", " Rhodococcus equi ", " Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis " ( causative agent of pigeon fever ), equine herpes virus type 1, or without any apparent infection.
48.
Body odor is influenced by the actions of the skin flora, including members of " Corynebacterium ", which manufacture enzymes called lipases that break down the lipids in sweat to create smaller molecules like butyric acid . " Staphylococcus hominis " is also known for producing thioalcohol compounds that contribute to odors.
49.
One of its best known relatives is " Corynebacterium diphtheriae ", the causative agent of diphtheria . " C . amycolatum " is a common component of the natural flora found on human skin and mucous membranes, and as such, is often disregarded by physicians as a contaminant when found in blood cultures.
50.
The first appearance of mono-ADP-ribosylation occurred a year later during a study of toxins : corynebacterium diphtheria diphtheria toxin was shown to be dependent on NAD + in order for it to be completely effective, leading to the discovery of enzymatic conjugation of a single ADP-ribose group by mono-ADP-ribosyl transferase.
