title: Arthrobacter viscosus DNA is modified at GATC sequence.
abstract: Arthrobacter viscosus DNA was resistance to digestion by restriction enzymes that are sensitive to methylation of the cytosine residue (but not of adenine) within the GATC recognition sequence. Restriction enzymes sensitive to methylation of cytosine in other recognition sequences were not affected. A. viscosus DNA thus appeared to contain methylated cytosine specifically at the GATC sequence.
