RESUMO

We report that the 1.5- and 7.5-kilobase-pair (kbp) transposonlike sequences present in the R-body-coding plasmids of Caedibacter taeniospiralis share homology. The R-body-coding plasmids of two new strains of C. taeniospiralis, derived from strains 169 and A30, carry the 7.5- and 1.5-kbp elements, respectively, inserted at new positions. Sequences homologous to the 7.5-kbp sequence from C. taeniospiralis 47 were detected in the chromosomes of three other strains of C. taeniospiralis.
