Street Science: Went to Dr. Joe Max Risse today and asked him about the mircoorganisms of the Fermentationgroup. He recommended Euglena gracilis, since it is without risk, big, colorful, and very healthy under the microscop. I asked for the bacteria they have and he told me I could check if their Kocuria rosea is a wild type. In the DMSZ catalog there are three strains of Kocuria rosea and all have been assessed to be of riskgroup 1, which is the safest group of bacteria and means it is unlikely that it will infect humans. I also asked for Penicillium chrysogenum but the one they use is a GVO.
