Bioremediation presents a potentially low cost and environmentally agreeable alternative to current physico-chemical remediation strategies. However, heavy metals such as mercury cannot be converted into non-toxic forms by naturally occurring bacteria. Annual global emissions estimates for mercury released into the environment are in the thousands of tons per year [1,2] while the remediation cost is in the thousands of dollars per pound. Finding new bioremediation technologies is an urgent need.

The transcription patterns of 64 linear double stranded DNA templates obtained with T7 RNA polymerase were investigated. These templates consisted of 17 nucleotide-long sequences under the control of the minimal bac-teriophage T7 promoter and represented all possible combinations of nucleotides at positions +8, +10 and +11.

We purified pancreatic deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) from the shark Heterodontus japonicususing three-step column chromatography. Although its enzymatic properties resem-bled those of other vertebrateDNases I, sharkDNase I was unique inbeingabasicprotein.Full-lengthcDNAs encoding theDNases I of two shark species,H. japonicusandTriakis scyllia, were constructed from their total pancreatic RNAs using RACE.
