| GO:0005575 | cellular_component | A location, relative to cellular compartments and structures, occupied by a macromolecular machine. There are three types of cellular components described in the gene ontology: (1) the cellular anatomical entity where a gene product carries out a molecular function (e.g., plasma membrane, cytoskeleton) or membrane-enclosed compartments (e.g., mitochondrion); (2) virion components, where viral proteins act, and (3) the stable macromolecular complexes of which gene product are parts (e.g., the clathrin complex). |
| GO:0110165 | cellular anatomical structure | A part of a cellular organism consisting of a material entity with granularity above the level of a protein complex but below that of an anatomical system. Note that cellular organisms exclude viruses. |
| GO:0071944 | cell periphery | The broad region around and including the plasma membrane of a cell, encompassing the cell cortex (inside the cell), the plasma membrane, and any external encapsulating structures. |
| GO:0042995 | cell projection | A prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. |
| GO:0031012 | extracellular matrix | A structure lying external to one or more cells, which provides structural support, biochemical or biomechanical cues for cells or tissues. |
| GO:0030312 | external encapsulating structure | A structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell or cells. This does not include the periplasmic space. |
| GO:0009289 | pilus | A proteinaceous hair-like appendage on the surface of bacteria ranging from 2-8 nm in diameter. |
| GO:0140047 | specialized extracellular matrix | Species or cell-type specific extracellular matrices that are different from the two main types of extracellular matrices: the interstitial ECM and the basement membrane ECM in metazoa. |
| GO:0062039 | biofilm matrix | A type of extracellular matrix that surrounds the cells within a microbial biofilm. The matrix is composed of extracellular polymeric substances including exopolysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and other biomolecules. |
| GO:0097311 | bacterial biofilm matrix | A structure lying external to bacterial cells. A biofilm is an aggregate of surface-associated bacteria, and the biofilm matrix is the envelope of polymeric substances that surrounds the bacteria. |
| GO:0098774 | curli | A proteinaceous extracellular fiber, produced by an enteric bacterium, that is involved in surface and cell-cell contacts that promote community behavior and host colonization. |
