Biosafety


As team, we are worried about the safety of each one of the team members in the lab, that's why we made an exhaustive research, and capacitacions were done for all the members who worked in the lab. Also, a search of the level risk of each microorganism was did, and it was found that E. coli and C. reinhardtii are in the lowest level, and according to the iGEM classification, both are in level 1, this mean, that they are not allowed to cause disease in adults. The security measures implemented in the lab were:

  • Use of latex gloves
  • Use of cote
  • If it is necessary, work in the laminar flow cabinet.
