[DNA-methylases from different strains of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus natto].
DNA-methyltransferase activity has been detected in some of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus natto strains. Two strains of Bacillus subtilis exhibited DNA-cytosine methyltransferase activity, and the strains of Bacillus natto exhibited DNA-adenine methyltransferase activity. A possible effect of DNA-methyltransferase specificity on transformation efficiency is discussed.
