Biosafety Regulations
a. Regulations in Germany
A biosafety laboratory such as where we are working has to fulfill several [http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/gentsv/anhang_iii_34.html standards and is subjected to many rules] (e.g. no pipetting with the mouth, no food, drinking or storage of food in the laboratory). GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are subjected to restrictions in Germany. We work with biosecurity stage 1 (S1) organisms. The [http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/gentsv/index.html#BJNR023400990BJNE001503320 GenTSV] (German act of genetics) defines them as neither human-, phyto- nor animalpathogenic.
b. Biosafety and Lab-training of team members
To work in a biosecurity laboratory of the stage 1 (S1), each team member had to take a course about biosafety and regulations in Germany (as required in [http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/gentsv/BJNR023400990.html#BJNR023400990BJNG000301308 §8-12]). Our advisors showed us how to correctly us the appliances in the laboratory. Every person working in the laboratory had to wear protective clothing (laboratory coat, protective gloves).
