Capsule Staining Notes:
Capsule staining is a technique that is used to reveal the absence or presence of capsules. This type of staining uses basic and acidic dyes to stain the bacterial cells so that the capsule can be visualized easily. Cytoplasm is responsible for synthesizing capsule, which is then secreted outside of the cell, and it surrounds the bacterium.
