Best explanation: α-amylase is extracted from Bacillus Licheniformis and is supplied in the form of Termamyl to be used in detergent industry. α-amylase is used in dishwashing and destarching. Alcalase isolated from Bacillus Licheniformis is used in liquid preparations with slurries of enzymes in non-ionic surfactant which are useful removing stubborn strains.
