Corynebacterial interspecies relationships assist in a variety of phenomena such as chain elongation in Streptococcus sanguinis and interfering with hyphae formation in Candida albicans. The vastly underexplored role of Corynebacteria has sparked a need for an in-depth phenotypic characterization of the species. Using an ATCC reference strain of Corynebacterium matruchotii and the previously published Corynebacterium durum JJ1 strain, their phenotypic behavior was compared to two recent isolates, Corynebacterium durum JJ2 and Corynebacterium argentoratense. The C. durum strains exhibit higher auto-aggregation percentages, thicker biofilms, produce larger EPS networks, and consistent growth patterns in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In contrast, C. matruchotii and C. argentoratense seem not to auto-aggregate, develop thin biofilms, and produce minimal EPS networks. By investigating its biofilm formation, optimal growth conditions, biochemical characteristics, and adhesion properties, we can gain a deeper understanding of the role of Corynebacteria in the complex ecology of the oral biofilm."],"repository":["ENA"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"","description":"Characterization of Oral Bacterial Commensals: Understanding Corynebacteria Phenotypes","dates":{"last_updated":"2025-08-16","first_public":"2025-08-05"},"accession":"PRJNA1300443","cross_references":{}}
