Abstract excerpt
Gas vesicle (Vac) synthesis in Halobacterium salinarium PHH1 involves the expression of the plasmid pHH1-encoded vac (p-vac) region consisting of 14 different gvp genes that are arranged in two clusters, p-gvpACNO and, oriented in the direction opposite to that of gvpA, p-gvpDEFGHIJKLM. The p-gvpACNO region was analyzed at the transcriptional and functional levels in H. salinarium and in Haloferax volcanii...
