The lipid bilayer surrounding a melanosome. An intracellular membrane-bounded particle found in fungi and containing chitin synthase; it synthesizes chitin microfibrils. Chitin synthase activity exists in chitosomes and they are proposed to act as a reservoir for regulated transport of chitin synthase enzymes to the division septum. The lipid bilayer surrounding a chitosome. Any small, fluid-filled, spherical organelle enclosed by a lipid bilayer. A membrane-bounded vesicle found in the cytoplasm of the cell. A vesicle formed of membrane or protein, found in the cytoplasm of a cell. Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, bounded by a single or double lipid bilayer membrane and occurring within the cell. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, and vesicles. Excludes the plasma membrane.
