Abstract

After screening a variety of bacteria from soil for the DNA cleavage activity, a type II restriction endonuclease, BasI was isolated and characterized from a Bacillus species. Using the purified enzyme the recognition sequence was determined. The enzym recognizes 5'-CCANNNN↓NTGG-3'sequence and cleaves as indicated. The enzyme functions efficiently at low lonic strength, pH rane and at the optimum temperature of 30° C.
