Corynebacterium is a genus of Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature. They are catalase positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile bacteria with unique morphological features. The most notable human infection caused by Corynebacterium is diphtheria, characterized by the formatio

The Coagulase test is a crucial microbiological method used to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus (Coagulase Positive) from other Staphylococci (Coagulase Negative). By detecting the presence of the enzyme coagulase, this test helps identify pathogenic strains of Staphylococcus that can cause serio

Exploring the reasons behind gray hair, this project delves into the role of melanin levels and the impact of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation in hair follicles. Catalase enzyme synthesis and its effect on achromotrichia (hair turning gray) are also investigated through experimental activities.

Neisseria, named after Dr. Albert Neisser, are gram-negative cocci known for causing gonorrhoea and other infections. They are aerobic, catalase-positive organisms usually found as commensals in the upper respiratory tract. Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis are the most significant sp
