Safety Aspect
The GerminationSTOP was put into place for the simple technical reason that the fusion proteins would lose their functions if the spore were to become a vegetative cell. But the GerminationSTOP also ensures that our Sporobeads are no longer able to germinate into viable cells.
In order to get a professional statement about the safety aspects of our project and how realistic it would be to release our spores into the environment, we invited the Commissioner for Bio-Safety in Bavaria to speak with us.
In a two hour discussion, we explained the details of our projects and asked the Commissioner all of the "what ifs" on our minds.
