Catalase test on fungi and bacteria 400X

#1 Post by Plasmid » Mon Nov 30, 2020 6:04 am

Wanted to test if Hydrogen peroxide had any effect on fungi. Most fungi contain the enzyme catalase which lets them breakdown hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen hence the bubbles, the peroxide had no effect on the bacteria.
