Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are organelle-like structures found in bacteria. They consist of a protein shell that encloses enzymes and other proteins. BMCs are typically about 40–200 nanometers in diameter and are made entirely of proteins.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The shell functions like a membrane, as it is selectively permeable.[3][5][7][13][14] Other protein-based compartments found in bacteria and archaea include encapsulin nanocompartments[15] and big gas vesicles.[16]
