Abstract

We found a novel type of repetitive DNA sequence in the Myxococcus xanthus genome. The first repetitive sequence is located in the spacer region between the ops and tps genes. We cloned five other repetitive sequences using the first repetitive sequence as a probe and determined their nucleotide sequences. Comparison of these sequences revealed that the repetitive sequences consist of a 87-bp core sequence and that some clones share additional homology on their flanking regions.
