Kameraenes
Kameraenes are a hypothetical genus of unicellular, light-harvesting organisms described in speculative biology and some science fiction narratives. The name suggests chambered photoreceptors and internal compartments that concentrate light for photosynthesis. The concept is used to illustrate ideas about early cellular light capture and membrane organization.
Physically, Kameraenes are described as spherical to ellipsoidal cells 30 to 90 micrometers in diameter. Their
Ecology and habitat: They are placed in sunlit freshwater and shallow marine environments, often on mineral
Life cycle: Reproduction is typically described as asexual binary fission, with occasional sexual exchange under favorable
Taxonomic status: Kameraenes have no standing in real biology and are not recognized as a real taxon.
