dam methylation in the archaebacteria
Journal of General Microbiology
|November 1, 1986
Abstract:
The DNA of certain species of halophilic and methanogenic archaebacteria is dam methylated, as shown by restriction endonuclease sensitivities. The Dam+ phenotype appears to be confined to particular taxonomic groupings defined by DNA:rRNA hybridization or 16S RNA oligonucleotide cataloguing.
