The region between the inner and outer lipid bilayers that surround an organellar chromatophore. A symbiosome containing any of various structurally modified bacteria, such as those occurring on the root nodules of leguminous plants. A thylakoid located in an organellar chromatophore. A double-enveloped cell compartment, composed of an endosymbiont with its plasmalemma (as inner envelope) and a non-endosymbiotic outer envelope (the perisymbiontic membrane). A bacteroid-containing symbiosome in which the bacterial component is a genetically highly reduced cyanobacterium that is photosynthetically active and incapable of an independent existence outside its host. The chromatophore functions as a photosynthetic organelle, and has been found and characterized in the amoeba Paulinella chromatophora. Either of the lipid bilayers that surround an organellar chromatophore.
