Transcription of Suitable and unsuitable micro-organisms
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
The following lists are selected micro - organisms which present minimum risk givengood practice. As a result of changes to thehazard categorisation of certain micro - organisms by the Advisory Committee onDangerous Pathogens (ACDP)1, these tablessupersede the lists found in the CLEAPSSL aboratory Handbook(1992), Microbiology:An HMI Guide for Schools and FurtherEducation(1990), Topics in Safety(1988) andSafety in Science Education(1996). Additionally, the tables include points ofeducational use and interest and comment ongrowing and maintaining the cultures. The listsof micro - organisms are not definitive; otherorganisms may be used if competent advice isobtained2. It should be noted that strains of micro - organisms can differ physiologically andtherefore may not give expected possible, fungi that produce largenumbers of air-borne spores should behandled before sporulation occurs, so that thespread of spores into the air and possiblerisks of allergy or the triggering of asthmaticattacks are minimised.
