Term Information

Accession: GO:0031411
Name: gas vesicle
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: gas vacuole
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: An intracellular non-membrane-bounded organelle; a hollow structure made of protein, which usually has the form of a cylindrical tube closed by conical end caps. By regulating their relative gas vesicle content, aquatic microbes are able to perform vertical migrations. Source: PMID:22147705, PMID:8177173
Comment: Note that although this organelle is commonly referred to as a 'vesicle' or 'vacuole' in the literature, it is not surrounded by a membrane.
