1. Please describe the chassis organism(s) you will be using for this project. If you will be using more than one chassis organism, provide information on each of them:
All organism risk group links can be found here
2. Highest Risk Group Listed: 1
3. List and describe all new or modified coding regions you will be using in your project. (If you use parts from the 2013 iGEM Distribution without modifying them, you do not need to list those parts.)
4. Do the biological materials used in your lab work pose any of the following risks? Please describe.
a. Risks to the safety and health of team members or others working in the lab?
Each of the bacterial strains are BSL1 so there is little chance any of them will cause harm to team members and other workers in the lab. We have appropriate spill kits within the lab to decontaminate the area immediately if an accident occurs while working with the bacteria.
b. Risks to the safety and health of the general public, if released by design or by accident?
Each of the bacterial strains are BSL1 so there is little chance any of them will cause human or animal disease if released to the general public. Our bacteria are also very dependent on a high concentration of salts, so they will die if left exposed to a non-regulated environment such as the open air.
