👉 Amylobacillus is a type of bacterium that produces amylase, which is responsible for breaking down starch into glucose in the mouth and digestive tract. It also has the ability to produce lactic acid, which is an enzyme produced during fermentation processes. Amylobacillus plays a crucial role in the gut microbiota, as it helps maintain proper digestion by breaking down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars.
