Слово встречается в следующем контексте:as an electronophore

Заранее спасибо

похоже, это переносчик электронов

вот, в статьях это обсуждают:

In these studies we also demonstrated that NR functions as an electronophore (electron shuttle) for electron transfer across the cytoplasmic membrane (14), which allows a microbe to use electrical reducing power for both growth and metabolite production.

Neutral red (NR) functioned as an electronophore or electron channel enabling either cells or membranes purified from Actinobacillus succinogenes to drive electron transfer and proton translocation by coupling fumarate reduction to succinate production.
