| Abstract: | Three copies of the IS21-related transposable element IS1415 were identified in Rhodococcus erythropolis NI86/21. Adjacent to one of the IS1415 copies, a 47-bp sequence nearly identical to the conserved 5' end of integrons was found. Accurate transposition of IS1415 carrying a chloramphenicol resistance gene (Tn5561) was demonstrated following delivery from a suicide vector to R. erythropolis SQ1. |
