Q1：Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of: researcher safety, public safety, or environmental safety?

Our team members all had safety trainings and our operation are according to the safety instructions. In our lab, we just use E.coli and Caulobacter crescentus. Both of these bacteria are proved to be safe. The protein we expressed is also innocuous. Even if mishandled, any negative effect upon researcher, public or environmental would be neglectable.

-  		<p>In our project, we trigger the kill switch of E.coil. by adding IPTG into the culture. IPTG can induce the expression of gene coding Limulus anti-LPS factor (LALF) downstream the lactose operator, so that the growth of E.coil. will be inhibited.</p>
