Abstract
The dnaA region of Wolbachia, an intracellular bacterial parasite of insect s, is unique. A glnA cognate was found upstream of the dnaA gene, while nei ther of the two open reading frames detected downstream of dnaA has any hom ologue in the database. This unusual gene arrangement may reflect requireme nts associated with the unique ecological niche this agent occupies.
