Function and biosynthesis of gas vesicles in halophilic Archaea.

Journal of bioenergetics and biomembranes - 1 Dec 1992

Pfeifer F, Englert C

Abstract excerpt

The proteinaceous gas vesicles produced by various microorganisms including halophilic Archaea are hollow, gas-filled structures with a hydrophobic inner and a hydrophilic outer surface. The structural components of gas vesicles and their biosynthesis are still under investigation; an 8-kDa polypeptide appears to be the major constituent of the gas-vesicle envelope. Genetic analysis of the halobacterial...
