Sequences BBa_K737010_sequence (Version 1)

Description

This 1 kbp part contains 2 open reading frames coding for gas vesicle genes (gvpA gvpC-20) from Bacillus Planktothrix rubescens strain BC-Pla 9402. Promotion of the sequence results in expression of gas vesicles, organelles made entirely out of protein. These organelles contain gas and therefore provide bouyancy to the cell. This slows the rate of settling of the cells in different water layer from Lake Zurich by gas vesicles, see??Walsby 2002

Notes

We referred to the paper:Spontaneous mutations in gas vesicle genes of Planktothrix spp. a??ect gas vesicle production and critical pressure Steven J. Beard, Barbara A. Handley, Anthony E. Walsby FEMS Microbiology Letters 215 (2002) 189^195
