A &#x3b2;-glucan derivative comprising a &#x3b2;-glucan residue of three or more glucose residues and, chemically bonded to the &#x3b2;-glucan residue, a non-reducing sugar residue.

Nonreducing beta-glucan derivative

To provide Nsp7524V restriction-modification genes and a method for producing Nsp7524V restriction enzyme and Nsp7524V modification enzyme by using a novel microorganism having, introduced thereinto, plasmids containing said genes. Nsp7524V restriction-modification genes. A method for producing Nsp7524V restriction enzyme and/or Nsp7524V modification enzyme which comprises incubating a microorganism carrying a plasmid having, integrated thereinto, Nsp7524V restriction-modification genes, and recovering the Nsp7524V restriction enzyme and/or Nsp7524V modification enzyme thus produced from the culture. It becomes possible to efficiently produce Nsp7524V restriction enzyme and/or Nsp7524V modification enzyme which are useful in the field of genetic engineering.

NSP7524V restriction-modification genes

To provide MboI restriction-modification genes and a method for producing MboI restriction enzyme and MboI modification enzyme by using a novel microorganism having, introduced thereinto, plasmids containing said genes. A method for producing MboI restriction enzyme and/or MboI modification enzyme which comprises incubating a microorganism carrying plasmids having, integrated thereinto, MboI restriction-modification genes, and recovering the MboI restriction enzyme and/or MboI modification enzyme thus produced from the culture. It becomes possible to efficiently produce MboI restriction enzyme and/or MboI modification enzyme which are useful in the field of genetic engineering.
