Catalase test-A test that detects whether the species produces catalase enzyme. If the bacteria possess catalase (i.e., are catalase-positive), when a small amount of bacterial isolate is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are observed.
Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. It is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons.Skeletal muscle is made up of individual muscle cells or myocytes, known as muscle fibers.They are formed from the fusion of developmental myoblasts (a type of embryonic progenitor cell that gives rise to a muscle cell) in a process known as myogenesis. Muscle fibres are cylindrical, and multinucleated.Muscle fibers are in turn composed of myofibrils. The myofibrils are composed of actin and myosin filaments, repeated in units called sarcomeres, the basic functional units of the muscle fiber.uscle fibres are cylindrical, and multinucleated. Muscle fibers are in turn composed of myofibrils. The myofibrils are composed of actin and myosin filaments, repeated in units called sarcomeres, the basic functional units of the muscle fiber.
Muscle Fiber Types. Skeletal muscle fibers have metabolic and mechanical differences that allow them to be classified into different types. A motor unit, which consists of a somatic efferent neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates, is comprised of muscle fibers that are all of the same type.hus the classification for muscle fibers also applies for motor units. Some of the different characteristics of muscle fiber (and motor unit) types are listed in the table. These are grouped in colors according to four basic features about muscle fibers.
