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 benign 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, once our project will be finished, any bacteria escaped will quickly die. Indeed, the antitoxin production is subordinate to an arabinose-dependant promoter. Thus, if it escapes the lab, the bacteria will no longer be provided with the inducer, and it will stop producing the antitoxin.
At last, 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.
