Regardless on what you try, it will only limit records returned (e.g.
you will still get full records, unless you take steps to limit those
somehow, by adding sequence start/stop, etc).  

Anyway, this worked to retrieve those with that tag:
"src isolation source"[Properties]

That get a lot of hits.

If you are only interested in that one line you could just parse it out
w/o resorting to bioperl (beleiev it or not, it's not always the best
answer).
