To avoid an eventual contamination and apply the emergency mesures in the lab, deep attention is taken to use safely our lab equipement and our E.Coli bacteria.

We use only harmless genes and strains of microorganisms (E. Coli K-12, M.C. 1061, S. Cervesiae) and the toxins that we use are not dangerous by contact to humans. Furthermore, any bacteria outside a controlled environment will quickly die. Indeed, antitoxin production is under the control of an arabinose-dependant promoter. If modified bacteria their assigned environment, they will no longer be provided with the inducer and will stop producing the antitoxin.

Mighty Coli should ultimately be used in closed bioreactors, which also have their own built-in biocontainment component. We can thus safely assume that the Mighty Coli project doesn't involve any appreciable risk.
