Bacteria Capsules and Slime Layers
Description:
Description: English: A bacteria capsule has a semi-ridged border that follows the contour of the cell. The capsule excludes India Ink when dyed. A slime layer is a non-ridged matrix that is easily deformed and is not able to exclude India Ink. Biofilms are composed of many cells and their outer barriers. The primary functions of both capsules and slime layers are for protection and adhesion. Date: 23 June 2016. Source: Own work. Author: Carlahayden11.
