title: Species-specific type II restriction-modification system of Xylella fastidiosa temecula1.
abstract: The transformation efficiency of Xylella fastidiosa can be increased by interfering with restriction by the strain-specific type II system encoded by the PD1607 and PD1608 genes. Here, we report results for two strategies: in vitro methylation using M.SssI and isolation of DNA from an Escherichia coli strain expressing the methylase PD1607.
