| Source | E.coli strain that carries the cloned Bmt I gene from Bacillus megaterium S2 |
| Assayed on | Lambda DNA (Hind III-digest) |
| Unit | One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of Lambda DNA (Hind III-digest) in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl. |
| Optimal SE-buffer | W (10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.5 at 25°C); 10 mM MgCl2; 100 mM NaCl; 1 mM DTT.) |
| Enzyme activity (%) | | B | G | O | W | Y | R | | 10 - 25 | 50 - 75 | 50 - 75 | 100 | 75 - 100 | 100 |
|
| Optimal temperature | 37oC |
| Storage conditions | 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 250 mM NaCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 7 mM 2-mercaptoethanol; 200 μg/ml BSA; 50% glycerol; Store at -20°C. |
| Ligations | After 20-fold overdigestion with enzyme about 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated and recut. |
| Non-specific hydrolisis | No nonspecific activity was detected after incubation of 1 μg of Lambda DNA with 20 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 37°C.

| Reagents Supplied with Enzyme |
10 X SE-buffer W |
| Methylation sensitivity | not tested |
| Inactivation 20 minutes under | 65oC |
| Notes | The minimum number of units that resulted in complete digestion of 1 μg of substrate DNA in 16 hours is 0,13.
BmtI cleaves linear plasmid DNA at a rate 5 times higher than supercoiled plasmid DNA. |
