Additional layers, such as capsules or S-layers, are also part of the envelope." [OMP:MCC]

comment: This is a high-level term whose primary purpose is to organize terms beneath it in the ontology, and we expect that it will not be used for direct annotations. Please consider using a more specific term to annotate each phenotype.
