Corynebacterium has metachromatic granuals.
metachromatic granules are polyphosphate granules found in Corynebacterium diphtheriae. They have the property of taking up a stain and exhibiting a different colour - metachromatia. thus they take up malachite green and appear dark blue in colour.
Pleomorphism, metachromatic granules, and palisade arrangement. Pleomorphism refers to the fact that C. diptheriae is rod-shaped but can appear club-shaped, needle-shaped, or spermlike. Metachromatic granules are reddish-purple granules that are visible when stained with metylene blue. Palisade arrangement refers to the presentation of rods in a parallel fashion that looks like a picket fence.

Neutrophils are blood cells that have lobed nuclei and red cytoplasmic granules. They are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the body's immune response by engulfing and destroying bacteria and other harmful organisms.

The juvenile form of metachromatic leukodystrophy is characterized by gait disturbances, urinary incontinence, mental deterioration, and emotional difficulties
Phosphate granules store excess phosphate in bacterial cells. This allows bacteria to regulate intracellular phosphate levels and use them during times of phosphate scarcity.
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare degenerative neurological disease affecting the fatty covering that acts as an insulator around nerve fibers known as the myelin sheath.

Actinomyces israelii is the classic pathogen that does this. It is a gram positive rod that forms branching filaments, resembling fungi. This little guy is an obligate anaerobe. Hope this helps!

Adult metachromatic leukodystrophy is characterized by emotional disturbances and psychiatric symptoms. Disorders of movement and posture appear later. Dementia and decreased visual function also occur.
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), also called sulfatide lipidosis and arylsulfatase A (ARSA) deficiency, is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, due to mutations in the arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene
