Two thermostable type II restriction endonucleases from Icelandic strains of the genus Thermus: Tsp 4C I (ACN/GT), a novel type II restriction endonuclease, and Tsp 8E I, an isoschizomer of the mesophilic enzyme Bgl I (GCCNNNN/NGGC)

Sixteen isolates of thermophilic bacteria from the genus Thermus, isolated from neutral and alkaline hot water springs in the southwest region of Iceland, were tested for the presence of restriction endonucleases. Extracts from five of the isolates showed evidence of the presence of restriction endo...
