<b> 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:

• Species: E. coli
  
• Strain: TG1 and Epi300
  
• Risk Group: 1
  
• Risk Group Source Link: http://www.absa.org/riskgroups/bacteriasearch.php?genus=Escherichia&species=coli
  
• Disease risk to humans? If so, which disease?: "E. coli K-12 is not considered a human or animal pathogen nor is it toxicogenic. Any concerns for E. coli K-12 in terms of health considerations are mitigated by its poor ability to colonize the colon and establish infections (http://epa.gov/oppt/biotech/pubs/fra/fra004.htm).
