The presence of refractile (R) bodies, potential toxin-delivery proteic structures able to stretch by biochemical influence, has been verified in some free living and endosymbiont bacteria, but the role and genomic context of reb genes responsible for its polymerization is not yet understood. RebB domain genes appear on genomes of proteobacteria, bacteroidetes and acidobacteria, generally…
