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 pathogensAeromonas salmonicida ,Yersinia ruckeri , andFlavobacterium psychrophilum and the human pathogenBacillus cereus .
