A theoretical method to produce digestion patterns of mammalian chromosomal DNA cleavage by restriction endonucleases was proposed. Based on recently published data on primary structures of genomes, a computer analysis was performed and diagrams of chromosomal DNA fragments distribution were plotted for DNA cleavages at 5’-GGCC-3', 5'-CCGG-3', 5'-GATC-3' and 5'-CC(A/T)GG-3' sequences. Experiments on chromosomal DNA digestion with HaeIII, MspI, Kzo9I and Bst2UI restriction endonucleases, which recognize these sites, were carried out. A correspondence between the computed diagrams and experimentally observed patterns of restriction enzymes cleavage was shown.

Based on the analysis of amplified ribosomal DNA fragmentation by restriction endonucleases, an improved method for microorganism identification (called ARDRA) has been suggested. A set of 6 restriction endonucleases (Sse9I, Tru9I, BsuRI, MspI, BstMBI and RsaI) was used to get corresponding patterns of DNA cleavage. DNA samples were isolated from four strain-producers of thermolabile alkaline phosphatase, obtained from sea water. Carrying out of ARDRA, followed by a comparison with the calculated cleavage patterns of DNA from several referenced microorganisms, allowed us to conclude that the new strains-producers belong to the Alteromonas genus.
