Corynebacterium xerosis

Coprinus micaceus is abrmdant in the prairie region of Canada and is an edible mushroom. The methanohc extract of C. micaceus exhibited anti-bacterial activity against A. faecalis, S. aureus, Corynebacterium xerosis and E. coli at the concentration of 250 pg/ml in a preliminary anti-bacterial screening assay. A chromatographic fractionation of methanohc extract of this mushroom subsequently resulted in the isolation of a new bioactive sterol, micaceol (12).

The chief culprits in generating armpit odours are the bacteria Corynebacterium xerosis and Micrococcus luteus, with Staphylococcus epidermis and Staphylococcus aureus playing minor roles. There can be as many as ten million bacteria cells per square centimetre of armpit skin compared to only 1,000 on the skin of the forearm, and this is as true for women s armpits as for men s, and yet the odour women give off is different because it lacks some of the ingredients that male sweat contains. Male underarm odour has three components an acrid one, a musky one, and a pungent one. The first of these comes from short-to-medium chain acids, the second from steroid type molecules, and especially androstenone, and the third from sulfur-containing molecules.
