Abstract excerpt
Part of the gas vesicle gene cluster was amplified by PCR from three strains of Planktothrix rubescens isolated from Lake Zürich, Switzerland. Each contains multiple alternating copies of gvpA and gvpC. All of the gvpA sequences in the different strains are identical. There are two types of gvpC: gvpC20, of length 516 bp, encodes a 20 kDa protein of 172 amino acid residues (whose N-terminal amino acid sequence is...
