vhjcmh The new BioBrick parts that are currently under design encode non-hazardous genes and should be harmless, with only one exception. That BioBrick part might slightly raise the resistance of Escherichia coli to certain antibiotics, but the effect will be limited to the bacteria cultured for testing experiments. The part encodes a multi-efflux pump that mainly transports aminoglycosides out of the cytosol. Yet we believe it does not have significant impact on the general safety of the environment since, in theory, it would only raise the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of the host organism by no more than 10 µg/ml. To avoid any potential hazards, Biological Safety Level 1 requirements are strictly followed. Biological wastes and all equipment that have physical contacts with biological samples are bleached (optional) and autoclaved before disposal or reuse. |
