Notes:
According to Daneshvar et al. (2004), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Corynebacteriumaurimucosum Yassin et al. 2002.Publication:
Daneshvar MI, Hollis DG, Weyant RS, Jordan JG, MacGregor JP, Morey RE, Whitney AM, Brenner DJ, Steigerwalt AG, Helsel LO, et al. Identification of some charcoal-black-pigmented CDC fermentative coryneform group 4 isolates as Rothia dentocariosa and some as Corynebacterium aurimucosum: proposal of Rothia dentocariosa emend.

Corynebacteriumnigricans is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Corynebacterium.
According to Bartlett et al. (2022), this species is an established human pathogen.Publication:

In the article by Shukla et al. 2003, the etymology is provided as follows: "The name Corynebacterium nigricans (ni' gri-kans) is derived from the word "niger" (L. fr. niger, black)" [sic]!Publication:

In the article by Shukla et al. 2003, the strain ATCC 700975 is erroneously cited as ATCC 700795.Publication:

The paper by Shukla et al. 2003 only cites the strain ATCC 700795 (sic) as type strain. However, certificate for CIP 107346 has been provided on request for validation.Publication:
