Preferred Label : gas vesicle protein;
MeSH note : proteins that form hollow structures, they usually take the shape of a cylindrical
tube closed by conical end caps. Gas vesicles occur in five phyla of the Bacteria
and two groups of the Archaea, but they are mostly restricted to planktonic microorganisms,
in which they provide buoyancy. By regulating their relative gas vesicle content aquatic
microbes are able to perform vertical migrations.;
