The outer membrane around a bacterial endospore, located between the endospore cortex and endospore coat. The structures that lie outside the inner membrane and surround the entire endospore; consists of a peptidoglycan-containing inner layer (the endospore cortex) surrounded by a multilayered proteinaceous coat. An exosporium may be present as an extreme outer layer. A structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell. Double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins. The external membrane of Gram-negative bacteria or certain organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts; freely permeable to most ions and metabolites. Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. The specialized envelope lying outside the cell membrane of a spore. Any constituent part of an external encapsulating structure, a structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell.
