Descriptor membrana púrpura
Scope note: Regiones de la membrana citoplasmática de algunas cepas de Halobacterium halobium, que están pigmentadas de púrpura y están funcional y estructuralmente diferenciadas. La membrana se desarrolla bajo condiciones anaeróbicas y está compuesta casi en su totalidad por el pigmento púrpura BACTERIORRODOPSINA. (Singleton & Sainsbury.
