“…Microorganisms produce several things that are useful for mankind and that is the reason behind importance of these tiny creature (Demain, 1990 ). These material could be explained as small molecules, usually described as metabolites that are broadly explore to vegetative growing (primary) and those that are described as inessential (secondary) or large molecules explained as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates).…”

This review gathers recent information about genomic and transcriptomic studies in the Corynebacterium genus, exploring, for example, prediction of pathogenicity islands and stress response in different pathogenic and non-pathogenic species. In addition, is described several phylogeny studies to Corynebacterium, exploring since the identification of species until biological speciation in one species belonging to the genus Corynebacterium. Important concepts associated with virulence highlighting the role of Pld protein and Tox gene. The adhesion, characteristic of virulence factor, was described using the sortase mechanism that is associated to anchorage to the cell wall. In addition, survival inside the host cell and some diseases, were too addressed for pathogenic corynebacteria, while important biochemical pathways and biotechnological applications retain the focus of this review for non-pathogenic corynebacteria. Concluding, this review broadly explores characteristics in genus Corynebacterium showing to have strong relevance inside the medical, veterinary, and biotechnology field.

“…Microbes are extensively studied due to their beneficial use and valuable products such as amino acids, enzymes, organic acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and polysaccharides during primary and secondary metabolism [4]. Amino acids producing bacteria were used commercially since 1950s.…”

Brevibacterium, Bacillus, Enterobacter, Mycobacterium, and Escherichia [5]. According to Ivana et al. [6], plant growth promoting activity of fungi Purpureocillium lilacinum supernatant was evidenced through the increase of the percentage of tomato seed germination from 71% to 85% after 48 h of application. He also proved that, after 21 days, after application of the crude supernatant of P. lilacinum, the growth of tomato plants was similar to those grown with fertilizer amendment. Similarly, Malik and Sindhu [7] reported that different isolates of Pseudomonas obtained from chickpea and green gram produced the well-known plant growth promoter, the indoleacetic acid in the range of 10.2-31.2 µg/ml. The production of phytohormones was also reported in other plant growth promoting rhizobacteria strains including Azotobacter chroococcum [8], Azospirillum [9], Rhizobium species [10], Bacillus polymyxa [11], Pseudomonas fluorescens [12], and Pseudomonas putida [13].L-glutamic acid is an important amino acid having a great role in the medical field. The amino acid is also widely used in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, animal feedstuffs, cosmetics, and other products. Glutamate is used as a fuel by the brain and is used as a flavor enhancer in the food industry [14]. Spraying different concentrations of glutamic acid increased the yield of wheat plants. It also improves nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content of wheat grains compared with the untreated control plant [15].

“…Seeing the continuing impact of infectious diseases on modern society (i.e. the AIDS pandemic, biological warfare, emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria, the recent SARS outbreak), there is a persisting need for continuous improvement of diagnostic microbiology and virology (Demain, 1999). Initially, serological tests, covering both host antibody responses assessment and bacterial serotyping, helped improve adequate diagnosis of several infectious diseases.…”
