title: [The search for strains producing new restriction endonucleases].
abstract: The search for restrictases in 154 strains belonging to 104 species of 32 genera of microorganisms has been carried out by the method of rapid toluene assay. In 10 strains the activity of endonucleases specifically fragmenting the DNA of phage lambda in the presence of Mg2+ ions has been detected. Restrictases Pae I and Pae II formed by two Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains have been identified as the true isoschizomers of restriction endonucleases Sph I and Sma I respectively. The results of the screening of restrictase-producing strains indicate that the production of restrictases is widely spread among microorganisms of the genus Bacillus.
