Biosafety Issues in Biotechnology and Engineering of Microorganisms
author
Abstract:
Currently much debate, attention and concern surrounds the use of genetically modified plants or animals. But there has not been much concern about microorganisms, although we all are aware of the place of microorganisms in the circle of life, their abundance and diversity. There are many examples regarding the application of genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs), however, like other higher organisms, any modification in the natural properties of microorganisms has to be justified and follow certain rules and regulations. Proposal for the construction of an “Iranian GEMs Bank” is another way of preventing unlimited manipulation on microorganisms. Also establishing the “Iran Microbe Zoo” will help governmental and environmental protection organizations to enhance public knowledge and understanding of the role of microorganisms and the significance of their protection.

Dioxins is a compound family among persistent organic pollutants toxics produced by industrial wastes. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo -p-dioxin (TCDD) is a typical representative of dioxins, which not only exhibits systemic carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, immunotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, endocrine disruption and waste syndrome to humans, but also has effects on physiology and pathology of human ski...
