What sticky outer layer produced by bacteria?
the answer to that is Capsule
What are the bacteria producing slime layer?
capsule
What is the slime layer that surround gram negative bacteria and keeps them from taking up purple stain?
capsule
Why was the mixture of S bacteria and R BACTERIA virulent?
The live R bacteria acquired a capsule and became live, virulent S bacteria.
What does a capsule allow a bacterium to do?
Capsule work as protective shield for bacteria. It helps the bacteria to tolerate harsh environment conidition and also it is helpfull in causing disease to animals as the capsule many time defend bacterial cell against immunity of its host.

What are the bacteria producing slime layer?
capsule
The capsule can be useful in medicine because?
If the capsule of the bacteria is very hard, none of the medicine given will have any affect on the bacteria. Capsules essentially "hide" the bacteria. They protect it from phagocytosis so that the WBC's can't attack it.
What is the slime layer that surround gram negative bacteria and keeps them from taking up purple stain?
capsule
What is the purpose of emulsifying the bacteria in the capsule stain?
to stain the outside and the inside of the cell.. so the capsule appears transparent
Why was the mixture of S bacteria and R BACTERIA virulent?
The live R bacteria acquired a capsule and became live, virulent S bacteria.
What is a hard outer covering that can protect the bacteria from drying out?
capsule
What does a capsule allow a bacterium to do?
Capsule work as protective shield for bacteria. It helps the bacteria to tolerate harsh environment conidition and also it is helpfull in causing disease to animals as the capsule many time defend bacterial cell against immunity of its host.
Why were the S bacteria not the R bacteria virulent?
The S bacteria are surrounded by a capsule, so it is not engulfed by the host's white blood cells. That means that it is able to proliferate and spread. The R bacteria lack the capsule (like the mutant S bacteria), so the white blood cells are able to detect and eliminate them.
Some oral bacteria produce an extracellular capsule of what benefit is a capsule to these cells?
There are some oral bacteria that produce extracellular capsules. The benefits of these extracellular capsules to these cells is added protection to the cell.
Why was the mixture of heat killed s bacteria and r bacteria virulent?
The live R bacteria acquired a capsule and became live, virulent S bacteria.
Of what value is a capsule to a bacterium?
A capsule to a bacterium helps bacteria adhere to surfaces and resist flushing. Several bacteria that have capsules are klebsiella, pneumoniae, bacillus subtillus, and streptococcus pneumoniae.
