Gas Vesicle Genes Identified in Bacillus megaterium and Functional Expression in Escherichia coli

Gas vesicles are intracellular, protein-coated, and hollow organelles found in cyanobacteria and halophilic archaea. They are permeable to ambient gases by diffusion and provide buoyancy, enabling cells to move upwards in liquid to access oxygen and/or light. In halobacteria, gas vesicle production...
