Abstract
After introduction of the broad host range plasmid RP4 in Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri strain XAS4501 two Xanthomonas transposable elements, ISXC 4 and ISXC 5, were isolated. These elements were found to be capable of transposition in Escherichia coli. Restriction analysis, DNA hybridization and heteroduplex experiments revealed that ISXC 4 and ISXC 5 are about 5.55 and 6.95 kb in size, respectively, possess inverted repeats about 50±18 bp in length and share DNA homology in their left (5.0 kb) and right (0.6 kb) ends. ISXC 4 and ISXC 5 were found to originate from plasmids pXW45N and pXW45J, which are indigenous replicons in X. campestris pv. citri strain XW45. © 1989 Springer-Verlag.
