They provide aquatic microorganisms with a way of moving vertically, enabling suspension at ideal depth. Across different organisms, eight to fourteen genes have been identified that are involved in the production of gas vesicles, however, only two of these genes have been directly found in the gas vesicle structure^{<a href='https://www.nature.com/articles/nrmicro2834'>6</a>}. These genes combine to form a hollow, proteinous structure.<img style='width: 60%' src='https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2018/7/7d/T--Warwick--leaddesc1.png'><br>^{Geometry of the Anabaena Gas vesicle <a href=''>7</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Electron Micrograph Image of Gas Vesicle8}<br>Forming like an organelle, the gas vesicle increases cell buoyancy by decreasing density and thus allowing the cell to float.");       

                         $("#TB3P").html("The goal of our project is unlike anything that's been done before as we aim to induce gas vesicles in Bacillus subtilis in order to allow for the bioremediation of toxic metals, such as lead. Bacillus subtilis has been shown to naturally absorb such metals9 in its outer membrane to aid in its biofilm forming10 properties. Thus, in making bacillus float, we hoped to allow for easier removal of such metals. Using bacillus in bioremediation is not a novel approach for removal of metals. Bacillus megaterium has been used in soils in order to remove several heavy metals such as iron, copper and magnesium11.");
