Chromatophore cells have been investigated as potential biodetectors for function-based detection of chemically and biologically toxic substances. Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (chinook salmon) melanophores, a chromatophore cell type containing brown pigment, rapidly detect the salmonid pathogens Aeromonas salmonicida, Yersinia ruckeri, and Flavobacterium psychrophilum and the human pathogen Bacillus cereus.
色素细胞已被研究作为潜在的生物探测器,用于基于功能的化学和生物毒性物质检测。Oncorhynchus tshawytscha(奇努克鲑鱼)黑素细胞是一种含有棕色色素的色素细胞类型,它可以快速检测到鲑鱼病原体嗜水气单胞菌、迟缓爱德华氏菌和嗜冷杆菌以及人类病原体蜡样芽孢杆菌。
