Identification of the Integration/Excision Module and Regulatory Elements Involved in the Mobility of IME8, an Integrative and Mobilizable Element From Mosquitocidal Lysinibacillus sphaericus

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
Mosquitocidal genomic island IME8 carries an int‐operon essential for integration/excision and a reg‐operon activating the promoter Pint and repressing excision. Its integration target is present in L. sphaericus and beyond. IME8 and a mini‐IME8 cassette can be mobilized by a conjugative plasmid and display integrating properties into the specific ...
