Abstract excerpt

IS892, one of the several insertion sequence (IS) elements discovered in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 (Y. Cai and C. P. Wolk, J. Bacteriol. 172:3138-3145, 1990), is 1,675 bp with 24-bp near-perfect inverted terminal repeats and has two open reading frames (ORFs) that could code for proteins of 23...
