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.
Catalse Test Catalase (also known as peroxidase) is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water.Most higher organisms produce catalase, but in bacteriology this test is usually used to differentiate staphylococci (Catalase positive) from streptococci (Catalase negative).hemical equation for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide: 2H2O2 â 2H2O + O2 In this test a drop of hydrogen peroxide is emulsified with the bacterial growth, if the organism is catalase positive active bubbling is seen (formation of oxygen) In catalase negative reactions no active bubbling is seen.
