The 1.3-kilobase-pair insertion element ISL1, originally isolated from Lactobacillus casei S-1, was found to have an extremely restricted host range. By DNA-DNA hybrizations performed with Southern transfers by using a cloned internal fragment of ISL1 as a molecular probe, it was found that only 3 of 19 L. casei strains examined contained sequences that hybridized to the ISL1 probe. In two of these, the hybridizing sequences were found on lactose plasmids. No homologous sequences were detected in a survey of 14 other Lactobacillus strains (9 species) and 15 strains of other bacteria (8 genera, 12 species).
