What is the difference between capsule and slime material? There is no difference
Capsules are rigid carbohydrate material, slime is loosely packed protein
Capsules are made of rigid protein material, slime is loosely packed protein
Both are made of glycocalyx, glycocalyx in capsules are loosely packed while slime is composed of tightly packed glycocalyx.
Capsules are rigid, slime is loosely packed. Both contain glycocalyx

i think that is new experiments yield untrustworthy data and should be carefully considered, because you don't know what will happen with the experiments.

the scientific method.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
