FIELD: genetic engineering, microbiology, biotechnology. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to new strain of Bacillus schlegelii ("ВКПМ" B-6310) - a producer of restrictase Bsc4 I isolated from soil as result of restrictase producers search. Enzyme yield is 5000 U/g wet biomass, specific activity of enzyme is 10000 U/ml. Restrictase Bsc4 I is an isoschizomer of restrictase BsiY I and can replace the latter in all genetic engineering works. Restrictase Bsc4 I shows thermostability and able to recognize and split the nucleotide sequence 5'-CCNNNNNNNGG-3'. EFFECT: new strain indicated above, high yield and specific activity of enzyme. 1 dwg
