The chassis organisms we use for this project
Species | Strain no/name | Risk Group | Disease risk to humans? If so, which disease | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | E. coli (K 12) | DH5 alpha | [http://www.absa.org/riskgroups/bacteriasearch.php?genus=&species=coli 1] | Yes. May cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, may affect kidneys. However, 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. |
2 | E. coli (K 12) | MG1655 | [http://www.absa.org/riskgroups/bacteriasearch.php?genus=&species=coli 1] | Same as above |
List and description of all new or modified coding regions we used
Part number | Where did us get the physical DNA for this part | What species does this part originally come from? | What is the Risk Group of the species? | What is the function of this part, in its parent species? | |
