Characterization of the Leucistic Texas Rat Snake Pantherophis obsoletus
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Albinism and leucism are phenotypes resulting from impaired melanin pigmentation in the skin and skin appendages. However, melanin pigmentation of eyes remains unaffected in leucism.

THE DERMAL CHROMATOPHORE UNIT [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1968 Rapid color changes of amphibians are mediated by three types of dermal chromatophores, xanthophores, iridophores, and melanophores, which comprise a morphologically and physiologically distinct structure, the dermal chromatophore unit. Xanthophores, the outermost element, are located immediately below the basal lamella.

Biologically inspired biosensors from fish chromatophores
This thesis explores the feasibility of using melanophore-based biosensors from Oreochromis niloticus. Melanophores are one type of pigmented cell of the scales and fins of fish that respond in a motile fashion to a diverse range of stimuli.

THE CHARACTER OF CHROMATOPHORES. [PDF]
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1904 In regard to the origin of the cell masses characteristic of pigmented moles and in regard to the origin of the melanotic tumors of the skin, different views are still held. A number of pathologists believe in the epithelial origin of nevi and of melanotic tumors; others assume a mesodermal origin.

F1000Research, 2019 The variation of the color intensity of the chromatophores present in the wings of Schistocerca americana was analyzed by exposing 31 specimens to thermal transitions within the range of 45 - 5 °C.

Basonuclin-2 requirements for zebrafish adult pigment pattern development and female fertility.
PLoS Genetics, 2009 Relatively little is known about the generation of adult form. One complex adult trait that is particularly amenable to genetic and experimental analysis is the zebrafish pigment pattern, which undergoes extensive remodeling during post-embryonic ...

ABSORPTION CHANGES IN BACTERIAL CHROMATOPHORES. II. A NEWCHLOROPHYLL-LIKE PIGMENT FROM THE OXIDATION OF CHROMATOPHORES FROMRHODOSPIRILLUM RUBRUM [PDF]
, 1964 Evidence is presented which points to (at least) two bound forms of bacteriochlorophyll present in chromatophores of Rhodospirillum rubrum, both of them readily converted to unbound bacteriochlorophyll (abs. max.

Protein translocons in photosynthetic organelles of Paulinella chromatophora
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 The rhizarian amoeba Paulinella chromatophora harbors two photosynthetic cyanobacterial endosymbionts (chromatophores), acquired independently of primary plastids of glaucophytes, red algae and green plants.

The antimycin-sensitive electrogenesis in Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides chromatophores [PDF]
, 1987 Electrogenesis linked to cyclic electron transfer through the ubiquinol-cytochrome 5c2 oxidoreductase complex in Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides chromatophores was investigated by a direct electrometric method.
