Abstract
Sequence analysis of â¼25Â kb of an Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 85-MDa (â¼142Â kb) plasmid, p85, identified two novel IS elements mediating p85 fusions with a suicide plasmid vector, pJFF350. These IS elements, 1465-bp ISAzba1 and 1112-bp ISAzba3, belong to the IS256 family and to the IS5 family/IS903 group, respectively. Truncated ISAzba2 from the ISL3 family was found near one of the copies of ISAzba1 that flank pJFF350 in p85::pJFF350. As another factor potentially contributing to the known genetic plasticity of p85, a phage integrase gene was identified in this plasmid.
