Amylase A
The fundamental component of bacterial biofilms is the extracellular polymeric substance, which is composed primarily of exopolysaccharides and proteins. The EPS forms the framework matrix for bacterial biofilms, and composes 50% to 90% of the total organic matter of the biofilm.
α-Amylase is a calcium metalloenzyme that hydrolyzes alpha bonds of long-chain carbohydrates. As a metalloenzyme, α-Amylase is nonfunctional in the absence of calcium. In the presence of calcium, α-Amylase is capable of inhibiting biofilm growth by hydrolyzing the polysaccharides that help compose the extracellular polymeric substance that is the fundamental component of bacterial biofilms.
