Glycocalyx

Viscous, carbohydrate rich layer at the outermost periphery of a cell.

The glycocalyx, also known as the pericellular matrix and sometime cell coat, is a glycoprotein and glycolipid covering which surrounds the cell membranes of bacteria, epithelial cells, and other cells. It was described in a review article in 1970.
