Group: Composition of capsules and arrangement of associated cells


11111001 Capsule is present.

11111002 Capsule is predominantly polysaccharide.

11111003 Capsule polysaccharide is antigenic.

11111004 Capsule is predominantly polypeptide.

11111005 Each cell has an individual capsule (capsules do not fuse).

11111006 Cells are separated from each other within a common capsule (zoogloeae).

11111007 Zoogloeae are encysted.

11111008 Cells are in pairs in a common capsule.

11111009 Cells are in chains in a common capsule.

11111010 Cells are in compact masses surrounded by a common capsule.

11111011 Secondary capsules are formed.

11111012 Attachment to a substrate is by means of capsular material.

11111013 Thinly capsulated cells have marginal thickenings ("Torus") of the capsule.

11111014 "Torus" appears to completely surround the cell.

11111015 "Torus" is open at one end like a horseshoe.
