<h3>What is the bacterial capsule?</h3>
The bacterial capsule is a well-organized layer of material lying outside the bacterial cell wall and which is not easily washed off.
The bacterial capsule is a layer of polysaccharides which are found outside the cell envelope, therefore, it is regarded as being part of the outer envelope of a bacterial cell.
