Partial purification and characterization of an exonuclease from Xanthomonas oryzae.

M B Farber, M Ehrlich
PMCID: PMC294688  PMID: 6252197

Abstract

An exonuclease with a strong preference for single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid over double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid has been purified 500-fold from Xanthomonas oryzae. This enzyme liberates 5'-mononucleotides in a reaction which requires Mg2+.
