title: Two restriction endonucleases in Selenomonas ruminantium subsp. lactilytica.
abstract: Crude protein extract from a recently isolated ruminal bacterium identified as Selenomonas ruminantium subsp. lactilytica specifically cleaved DNA. This ability was due to the presence of two site-specific restriction endonucleases. Sr/I, a NaeI schizomer, recognizes the 5'-GCCGGC-3' sequence. Sr/II, a NsiI schizomer, recognizes 5'-ATGCAT-3'.
