FIELD: biotechnology. SUBSTANCE: detection of strain-producer Bacillus species providing preparing thermostable restriction endonuclease which can recognize and cleave nucleotide sequence 5′-(A/G)-CCGG-(T/C)-3′ with high yield and activity of enzyme. Strain Bacillus species ВКПМ-B5941 is isolated from thermal sources after screening of site-specific endonuclease restriction (restrictases). The yield of enzyme is 4000 U/g wet biomass, specific activity of the end enzyme is 10000 U/ml. Restrictase Bse 118I is an isoschizomer of restrictase Cfr 10I and can substitute the latter in all genetic-engineering studies. EFFECT: increased yield of enzyme.
