title: Purification and characterization of restriction endonuclease MgoI from Mycobacterium gordonae.
abstract: A restriction endonuclease, MgoI, an isoschizomer of Sau3AI, was purified from Mycobacterium gordonae TRC1318. As compared to Sau3AI, the yield of MgoI was seven-eightfold higher, the enzyme was four times more stable at 37 degrees C, and in addition, had optimal activity over a much broader range of salt concentrations.
