Description
Encodes for the production of a gas vesicle structural protein - GvpA. This, when coupled with GvpC in an optimal range of 23:1 ratio respectively, induces the growth of gas vesicles in the E. coli cell and thus increases buoyancy. This particular construct will be paired with a higher copy number in order to achieve the ratio mentioned above. It will also be paired with ampicillin resistance as to distinguish it from the separate GvpC plasmid also being transformed into the E. coli cells.
Notes
high copy ORI number
