Novel pleiotropic regulators of gas vesicle biogenesis in Serratia
… production. In addition, S39006 produces gas vesicles to float in aqueous environments and enable colonization of air-liquid interfaces. Gas vesicles are thought to be constructed solely from proteins expressed from a gene cluster composed of two contiguous operons, gvpA1-gvpY and …

Protein MAS NMR methodology and structural analysis of protein assemblies
… SH3 domain of P13 kinase (P13-SH3) and intact gas vesicles from anabaena flos-aquae, for which atomic-level structural information was previously unavailable. P13-SH3 (86 residues) is a system thoroughly studied as a model of protein misfolding and amyloid formation by a natively globular …

Biomedical ultrasonics, cavitation, and sonoporation
… outside medicine. Since cyanobacteria contain gas vesicles, we hypothesised that these can be disrupted with the aid of ultrasound. During 1-hour sonication in the clinical diagnostic range, we forced blue-green algae to sink, thus promoting natural decay. In medical diagnostics, ultrasound …

New Pleiotropic Co-Regulators of Gas Vesicle and Secondary Metabolite Production in Serratia sp. ATCC39006
… It is the only enterobacterium known to make gas vesicles (GVs) naturally. GVs are proteinaceous, intracellular organelles used by bacteria to enable upward flotation in aquatic environments. S39006 also produces various secondary metabolites, including the tripyrrole red-pigmented antibiotic, …

Characterisation of pleiotropic regulators of gas vesicle biogenesis, antibiotic production, motility and virulence in Serratia sp. ATCC 39006
… which naturally produces intracellular gas vesicles (GVs), enabling cells to float in static water columns. These hollow proteinaceous organelles are expressed from a 16.6 kb gene cluster comprised of 19 ORFs arranged in two contiguous operons separated by a 930-bp intergenic region. The …

Novel pleiotropic regulators of flotation, secondary metabolite production, and virulence in Serratia sp. ATCC 39006
… only enterobacterium known to naturally produce gas vesicles (GVs). GVs are proteinaceous, intracellular organelles that increase the buoyancy of a cell and enable flotation upwards through the water column and colonisation of air-liquid interfaces. The production and regulation of GVs is a …
