Clostridium amylolyticum is an anaerobic, endospore-forming bacterium in the family Clostridiaceae notable for its ability to ferment starch (amylon in Greek, giving the species epithet) and other complex carbohydrates to produce organic acids, alcohols, and gases. Like other members of the Clostridium genus, it is a strictly anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium that produces resistant endospores enabling survival in unfavorable environmental conditions, including exposure to heat, desiccation, and oxygen. C. amylolyticum is found in starch-rich anaerobic environments such as soil, sediments, and fermentation systems, where its amylolytic enzymes break down starch polymers into simpler sugars that are then fermented. The genus Clostridium is polyphyletic and has undergone extensive reclassification as molecular phylogenetics revealed it encompasses multiple distinct evolutionary lineages. Amylolytic clostridia have industrial applications in bioprocessing, particularly in biofuel production through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of starchy biomass feedstocks, and in producing commodity chemicals through anaerobic fermentation.

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
