Planteome: Term Details for "plasma membrane-derived chromatophore" (GO:0042716)

Accession: GO:0042716
Name: plasma membrane-derived chromatophore
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: chromatophore vesicle
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A pigment-bearing structure that is derived from the cytoplasmic membrane, sometimes consisting of simple invaginations and sometimes a complete vesicle. This component is found in certain photosynthetic bacteria and cyanobacteria. Source: PMID:11867431, GOC:jl, ISBN:0395825172
Comment: Note that this structure is distinct from the chromoplast of plants, which is also sometimes called a chromatophore; it also should not be confused with the specialized pigment-producing cells known as chromatophores, found in fish and amphibian skin.
