Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues?

During our work at the laboratory in the rooms of the microbial practises we work with these two organisms: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker Yeast), stem: CEN-PK-2 and Escherichia coli, stem DHT alpha. Both stems are common safety stems for laboratory work. Nevertheless all living material and material dirived from living organims is treated as potentially infectious material. No cell containing material is released into the environment without sterilisation in an autoclave. Before leaving the laboratory, hands and eventually contaminated parts of the body are washed carefully and are desinfected with sterilium.

Work in the lab is only permitted for students wearing a labcoat, long trousers and closed shues. For certain kinds of work with increased safety danger safety glasses and appropiate protection gloves have to be used.
