Catalase is an enzyme present in the cells of plants, animals and aerobic (oxygen requiring) bacteria. It promotes the conversion of hydrogen peroxide, a powerful and potentially harmful oxidizing agent, to water and molecular oxygen.atalase is located in a cell organelle called the peroxisome.

White blood cells produce hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria.
