AbstractPseudomonas putida KT2440 contains seven copies of an insertion sequence (IS) belonging to the IS110 family, designated ISPpu9, which are inserted into repetitive extragenic palindromic sequences. Five of these copies include a small RNA, ssr9, located downstream of the transposase gene. Additionally, three separate copies of ssr9 are also present. When transferred to a different P. putida strain, ISPpu9 inserted at a specific target site highly similar to that of the KT2440 strain.
