I think for this I'll create a term 'forespore compartment' or just 'forespore' as part_of cell and define it:
Portion of the cell formed during the process of bacterial sporulation that will ultimately become the core of the endospore. An endospore is a type of dormant cell that is resistant to adverse conditions.
Don't think we need a term for 'endospore' because this is a type of cell, and GO doesn't include different cell types.

Could we have the new term: "forespore compartment" ? for the location of Glucose 1-dehydrogenase (EC-Number 1.1.1.47 )
Reference: J Bacteriol 1977 Oct;132(1):282-93 Location and properties of glucose dehydrogenase in sporulating cells and spores of Bacillus subtilis. Fujita Y, Ramaley R, Freese E. Abstract: Late during sporulation, Bacillus subtilis produces glucose dehydrogenase (GlcDH; EC 1.1.1.47), which can react with D-glucose or 2-deoxy-D-glucose and can use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) as a cofactor. This enzyme is found mainly in the forespore compartment and is present in spores; it is probably made exclusively in the forespore.... PMID: 21162 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]21162 [PubMed
Definition: Bacillus subtilis is a soil bacterium that undergoes cellular differentiation when starved. During differentiation, the cell is partitioned into two compartments, the mother-cell and the forespore, ....
