Similar in function to ballast tanks in submarines or fish bladders, many water-based bacteria use gas vesicles to regulate their floatability. In a new publication in Cell, scientists from the ...
Gas vesicles are hollow structures made of protein found in the cells of certain microorganisms, and researchers at Rice University believe they can be programmed for use in biomedical applications.

This picture shows a detailed molecular model of a gas vesicle, a buoyancy device for microbes filled with gas. The vesicle has large pores in its wall to let gas through, but prevents water from ...
