When unknown 32 was tested with the oxidase test‚ it was found oxidase negative. The catalase test tests for the presence of catalase which breaks down hydrogen peroxide and oxidase dismutase. A small amount of hydrogen peroxide is dropped onto a slide of unknown 32 and resulted in bubbles. This result shows that unknown 32 is catalase positive since it broke down hydrogen peroxide and oxidase dismutase which resulted in water and oxygen. This eliminated Enterococcus spp. and Streptococcus

combine or break down hydrogen peroxide. Imagine a pen with ink inside it‚ when you write‚ ink comes out‚ right? You can draw‚ you can write‚ then when you finish and get your pen off of the paper‚ the ink stops coming out. Enzymes are like that‚ they grab on to one or two pieces‚ do something to them‚ and then release them‚ but instead the pen holds the ink in. Catalase and Catalyst Catalyst is a chemical‚ which can break down hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Catalase is a common enzyme

Computer Enzyme Action: Testing Catalase Activity 6A H2O2 is toxic to most living organisms. Many organisms are capable of enzymatically destroying the H2O2 before it can do much damage. H2O2 can be converted to oxygen and water‚ as follows: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 Although this reaction occurs spontaneously‚ enzymes increase the rate considerably. At least two different enzymes are known to catalyze this reaction: catalase‚ found in animals and protists‚ and peroxidase‚ found in plants. A great

concentration of the reactants in relation to the concentration of the products. The rate of these reactions is controlled by biological catalysts of which are the enzymes. Catalase is an enzyme found in most cells and helps decompose hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. There is variation of the effects of temperature upon catalase. Catalysts are not used up in the reaction‚ and do not furnish energy for the reaction. Catalysts merely affect the rate of the reaction by reducing the amount of activation

difference in enzyme activity on fresh liver were; 4 °C‚ room temperature which was 22°C‚ body temperature which is 37°C‚ and 77°C. The total time of each trial was 2 and a half minute‚ 1 minute for the H2O2 to acclimatize to the temperature‚ 1 and a half minutes for the reaction to occur. Catalase causes Hydrogen Peroxide to break down into water and oxygen. Therefore the difference of enzyme rate reaction was determined by putting liver into hydrogen peroxide mixed with detergent and the oxygen.

Abstract The catalysis of enzymes within our bodies is essential for human survival and when this ability is impaired by the presence of Hydrogen ions‚ our cells cannot function properly. This experiment was conducted to determine if the reaction rate changes in response to a variation of acidic‚ neutral‚ and basic solutions. The experimental results indicated that the basic/high pH solution has a faster rate of reaction in the solution. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that catalyze

Storyboard: Materials: 2 50 mL beakers 10 mL graduated cylinder 3% hydrogen peroxide solution Hot water bath Lemon juice or HCl Fresh liver Forceps Procedure: Measure 10 mL of hydrogen peroxide and record its temperature. Pick the liver up with the forceps and add it to the hydrogen peroxide‚ record the temperature once more. Record the reaction. Using the same piece of liver‚ repeat

The first microorganism analyzed was Staphylococcus epidermidis. This organism is gram-positive‚ single celled‚ arranged in grape-like clusters‚ and cocci in shape (Bukhari‚ 2004). S. epidermidis is approximately
