Guidelines for large-scale r-DNA fermentations
TLDR
Recommendations for the design of containment facilities involving r-DNA are itemized from guidelines which are based on existing approaches to containment of pathogenic organisms.Abstract:
Guidelines have been established by the National Institute of Health for the containment levels required for r-DNA work involving more than 10 liters of culture. Recommendations for the design of containment facilities involving r-DNA are itemized from these guidelines which are based on existing approaches to containment of pathogenic organisms.read more
