Involvement of a Quorum Sensing Signal Molecule in the Extracellular Amylase Activity of the Thermophilic <i>Anoxybacillus amylolyticus</i>

<i>Anoxybacillus amylolyticus</i> is a moderate thermophilic microorganism producing an exopolysaccharide and an extracellular α-amylase able to hydrolyze starch. The synthesis of several biomolecules is often regulated by a quorum sensing (QS) mechanism, a chemical cell-to-cell communic...
