*to check for enzyme activity of catalase in organism
took a slide & placed a good size of bacteria in two diff spots-
one S. epi & the other E. faecalis
* then place aseptically (not the metal loop) 1-2 drops of H2O2 hydrogen peroxide
on both specimens and watch for bubbles
* the S. epi bubbled quickly & E. faecalis did not. bubbles are a +Pos reaction for catalase
