The volume enclosed by a cyanelle thylakoid membrane. Any thylakoid within a plastid. A thylakoid found in a cyanelle, which is a type of plastid found in certain algae. The cyanelle contains a photosynthetic membrane resembling that of cyanobacteria. The lipid bilayer membrane of any thylakoid within a cyanelle. Any member of a family of organelles found in the cytoplasm of plants and some protists, which are membrane-bounded and contain DNA. Plant plastids develop from a common type, the proplastid. Any constituent part of a plastid, a member of a family of organelles found in the cytoplasm of plants and some protists, which are membrane-bounded and contain DNA. Plant plastids develop from a common type, the proplastid. A plastid that contains unstacked, phycobilisome-bearing thylakoid membranes and is surrounded by a peptidoglycan layer as well as a double membrane. Cyanelles are characteristic of algae in the class Glaucophyta, and may represent an ancestral form of plastid. A membranous cellular structure that bears the photosynthetic pigments in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. In cyanobacteria thylakoids are of various shapes and are attached to, or continuous with, the plasma membrane. In eukaryotes they are flattened, membrane-bounded disk-like structures located in the chloroplasts; in the chloroplasts of higher plants the thylakoids form dense stacks called grana. Isolated thylakoid preparations can carry out photosynthetic electron transport and the associated phosphorylation. A compartment that consists of a lumen and an enclosing membrane, and is part of an organelle.
