Hyperthermophilic DNA methyltransferase M.PabI from the Archaeon Pyrococcus abyssi
Article Abstract:
A study demonstrated that pabIM, which is similar to M and S genes of type I system, encodes a functional DNA methyltransferase (M.PabI) generating 5'-GTm6AC. The results showed that this unique methyltransferase and PabI constitute a type II restriction-modification gene complex that entered the Pyrococcus abyssi genome relatively recently.

Large-restriction-fragment polymorphism analysis of Mycobacterium chelonae and Mycobacterium terrae isolates
Article Abstract:
A comparison of the large-restriction-fragments, from six nontuberculous isolates of Mycobacterium chelonae and four nontuberculous isolates of M. terrae, reveal unique patterns representing each isolate whose dendrograms indicate a high degree of diversity.
