Capsule - Some species of bacteria have a third protective covering, a capsule made up of polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates). Capsules play a number of roles, but the most important are to keep the bacterium from drying out and to protect it from phagocytosis (engulfing) by larger microorganisms.

Bacteria possess a number of structures that allow them to attach to target surfaces or tissues. Many bacteria are surrounded by a capsule, which is composed of polysaccharides and glycoproteins. The capsule is important in bacteria that cause disease because it prevents phagocytosis by the host's white blood cells.
