Catalase Test ☣️☢️ This test demonstrate the presence of catalase, an enzyme that catalyses the release of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). It is used to differentiate those bacteria that produces an enzyme catalase, such as staphylococci, from non-catalase producing bacteria such as streptococci Catalase test is used to differentiate aerotolerant strains of Clostridium, which are catalase negative, from Bacillus species, which are positive. Semiquantitative catalase test is used for the id

Catalase test | This test is used to identify organisms that produce the enzyme, catalase. 🔸This enzyme detoxifies hydrogen peroxide by breaking it down into water and oxygen gas. The bubbles resulting from production of oxygen gas clearly indicate a catalase positive result. 🔸It is used to distinguish between Staphylococcus and Streptococcus bacteria. | Elmicrobiologist
