Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2025.In this study, RNA‐seq was employed to investigate the temporal transcriptional response of C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 to external H2O2 at 720 mM (2.45% w/w). The results reveal significant changes in gene expression across multiple pathways, including peroxide scavenging, central metabolism, sulphur and iron metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, and DNA ...

Eagle Effect inCorynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005 The in vivo relevance of the paradoxical bactericidal effect (the Eagle effect) is not evident. We found in vitro a paradoxical bactericidal effect of amoxicillin on 2 strains of nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Then, using an experimental rabbit model of endocarditis, we evaluated the in vivo relevance of this phenomenon.

Cell Structure of Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1951 SUMMARY: When examined by phase-contrast microscopy living diphtheria bacilli generally appear fairly transparent. They are sometimes unicellular but are frequently divided into compartments by readily visible cross-septa. In gravis and mitis strains the cross septa are usually few in number and the compartments long, but in intermedius strains there ...
