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
