Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a Gram-positive, aerobic baterium
found in soil samples in nature.
Alpha amylase from B. amyloliquefaciens is often used in starch
hydrolysis. B. amyloliquefaciens is also a source of subtilisin, an
enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of proteins in a similar way to
trypsin.
It also produces Barnase, an extracellular guanine specific
ribonuclease, and barstar is its intracellular inhibitor.
