Rhizobium is a type of bacterium that lives in soil and around and inside of the roots of certain plants (legumes). This is Rhizobium in its free-living state in soil, surrounded by a halo of protective covering called a capsule. The slimy capsule, made of exopolysaccharide, protects rhizobium from drying out. It also helps the bacterium stick to root hairs during other stages of its life cycle, when rhizobium forms a symbiotic partnership with plants like clover.
