Which microbes can possess a glycocalyx...bacteria,protozoa... or all are correct?
The general term for any network of polysaccharide or protein containing material extending outside of the cell is the glycocalyx. Many bacteria produce such a coating on the outside of their cell, and they come in two types: capsules and slime layers. The difference between the two is somewhat arbitrary. A capsule is closely associated with cells and does not wash off easily, while a slime layer is more diffuse and is easily washed away.
However, Amoeba can possess glycocalyx protrusions, so both answers are correct
Reply:You should talk to your prof about this. That is why they are there and you have paid so much money for it. If not, read your text book.
