without the ISApl1 gene highly similar to these contigs (assessed by BLAST) are plasmids, an indirect indication that they are more probably of plasmid rather than genomic origin.
The devoid of the ISApl1 gene
23 nik-mcr-1 genetic elements .
It is possible that the transferable mcr-1 gene here appears in the form lacking the insertion sequence ISApl1.
The mcr-1 gene is part of a 2,600-bp-long fragment designated as the mcr-1 cassette that encompasses the likely promoter sequences for mcr-1 expression (7).2016-AAC-Kat.
the mcr-1 gene is most often located at the right-had end of the insertion element ISApl1,
