Some bacteria produce a capsule or a slime layer for protection. Bacteria that have capules or slime layers make themselves very difficult to attack and kill, or scrape off of surfaces. After preparing a capsule stain, if the bacteria have a capusule, there would be a clear area that does not pick up the stain around the bacteria. If the bacteria does not have a capsule, a clear area will not be present.
Results: No Capsule
