Abstract
Hybrid gas vesicle gene cluster (GVGC) configured for expression in a prokaryotic host are described comprising gas vesicle assembly (GVA) genes native to a GVA prokaryotic species and capable of being expressed in a functional form in the prokaryotic host, and one or more gas vesicle structural (GVS) genes native to one or more GVS prokaryotic species, at least one of the one or more GVS prokaryotic species different from the GVA prokaryotic species, and related gas vesicle reporting (GVR) genetic circuits, genetic, vectors, engineered cells, and related compositions methods and systems to produce GVs, hybrid GVGC and/or image a target site.
