Catalase activity test for bacterial identification
Most of aerobes and facultative anaerobes have the characteristic of showing catalase activity. Actually, these organisms utilize oxygen to produce hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide is toxic to their enzyme system. Hence, these organisms produce an enzyme catalase, which converts the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. It is also that the reason of not surviving anaerobes in the…
