Pretty much like beef. It's relatively common in India where beef is not eaten for religious reasons. You can also find it without much trouble in both Egypt and Italy. I suspect that in SE Asia, where water buffalo are common, it's also widely eaten.
The inadvertent use of a mixed culture in. biochemical testing will lead to erroneous results. The simplest biochemical test that is used to differentiate between Streptococcus and. Staphylococcus species is the Catalase test. In this test we are testing for the ability of the. bacteria to produce the enzyme catalase. This enzyme breaks down hydrogen peroxide into. water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide, as well as superoxides, can be metabolic end. products of the production of ATP by the electron transport chain.
Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen (such as bacteria, plants, and animals). It catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.he catalase test is done by placing a drop of hydrogen peroxide on a microscope slide. Using an applicator stick, a scientist touches the colony, and then smears a sample into the hydrogen peroxide drop. 1  If the mixture produces bubbles or froth, the organism is said to be 'catalase-positive'.
