<span>The work with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) harbours the risk of their release into nature. Therefore, it is necessary to make their survival in nature impossible.<br />We developed a security system for <em>Bacillus subtilis</em> based on one of the cells essential compartment the ribosome.  
-
serious consequences such as gene exchange with unmodified organism or ecosystem imbalance cannot be excluded. It is  
+
-
necessary to keep GMOs isolated from the environment or to make their survival in nature impossible. For this purpose,
+
-
we decided to develop a security system for Bacillus subtilis. This system is based on one of the cells most important
+
-
compartment- the ribosome. Ribosomes are essential as they are responsible for the protein synthesis and a loss of them
+
-
leads to a halt of protein biosynthesis resulting in a rapid cell death.
