03/04/zero 8. Catalase is an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen. A solution Containing catalase would show a positive result when Ans: The solution is tested using the grease spot te i catalase is a common enzyme found about in all living organisms. 2) It helps in catalysis of decomposition of hydrogen. Peroxide into water and oxygen 3) catalase has a very high specific activity the 4) Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful by product of metabolic Processes. To prevent damage caused due to hydroge Peroxide, it should be converted to leas toxic substances. Thus, Catalase is frequently irsed by cells for decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less-reactive oxygen gas and water 5) In catalase test, D A clear glass slide is divided into two sections with grease pencil hence grease spot test. 2) With a sterlized and inoculating loop, pick cap a small amount of Culture from sample in petridish 3) with a pasteur pipette, place small drop of hydrogen peroxide. 4) observe the fluid for the appearance of gas bubbles 3) These bubbles indicate positive result of Presence of Catalase
