Large restriction fragments of genomic DNA from Micrococcus sp. Y-1 were separated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Since Micrococcus sp. Y-1 has a G + C content of approximately 70%, restriction fragments were obtained by digesting chromosomal DNA with endonucleases which recognize A+T-rich sequences. Five enzymes, Sspl, Spel, Xbal, Hpal and EcoRI, were used for generation of distinctly separated fragments in the size range 100-500 kb. No site for DraI was detected. In contrast, sites for 8-base-recognizing enzymes, but not for NotI and Sfil, were frequent. The genome size of Micrococcus sp. Y-1 was determined from restriction fragments separated by PFGE, and was estimated to be approximately 4061 kb. Partial digestion experiments revealed the order of the six Sspl fragments on the chromosome.
