Michelle and I would like to add the following new terms to component:
exosporium The outer-most layer of a bacterial endospore, which is loosely attached and located outside of the endospore coat. It is generally composed of protein, carbohydrate, and perhaps lipid.
endospore coat The layer in a bacterial endospore that lies under the the exosporium, and is impermeable to many toxic molecules. The coat may also contain enzymes that are involved in endospore germination.
outer endospore membrane The outer membrane around a bacterial endospore, located between the endospore cortex and endospore coat.
endospore cortex A layer surrounding a bacterial endospore found inside the outer endospore membrane, but outside the membrane surrounding the endospore core. It consists of peptidoglycan of a different chemical nature than that found in vegetative cell walls which results in less cross-linking of peptidoglycan.
endospore external encapsulating structure The structures that lie outside the inner endospore membrane and surround the entire endospore.
external encapsulating structure ---[i] spore external encapsulating structure ------[p] exosporium ------[p] spore coat ------[p] outer spore membrane ------[p] spore cortex
outer membrane ---[i] outer spore membrane
