Abstract

Insertion element IS121 was mapped between proA and a previously mapped IS5A element in two F-prime plasmids. Results of hybridizations of IS121 to chromosomal DNA from four other strains suggest that IS121 is normally present at this position in the chromosomes of Escherichia coli K-12 strains.
