Abstract

Researchers show that two genes encoding haloacetate dehalogenases in the soil bacterium Delftia acidovorans are carried in a defective transposon on plasmid pUO1. Normally, these transposons can catalyze their own transposition, but this transposon lacks the transposase and resolvase genes.

Abstract

A study was conducted on many catabolic plasmids often flanked by two copies of insertion sequence, IS1071, which were influenced by various xenobiotic-degrading genes. It was observed that only transposition at high frequencies was possible by IS1071 sequence and that IS1071had the functional features of the class II transposons.
