ABSTRACT: Genomic rearrangement, often driven by insertion sequence (IS) elements, is one of the major processes in the evolution of prokaryotes. Sequence analysis of 16S rRNA of Lactobacillus helveticus, an organism that evolved in a dairy environment and Lactobacillus acidiophilus an organism that evolved associated with the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) demonstrated 98.4% identity suggesting that they divergently evolved from a common ancestor. Moreover, complete genome sequence analysis of both organisms has demonstrated a remarkable degree of gene synteny (75% homologous genes) despite the presence of an exceptionally high number and diversity of IS elements in the Lb. helveticus genome. Array based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) performed on nine strains of Lb. helveticus revealed si
