When accounting for working concentrations, this difference is further magnified as summarized in a table below.

Summary of Integrated Human Practices
Safety
Toxicity comparison between Pyocyanin and PMS
The 2012 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard ranks hazard ratings with the use of categories, with Category 0 being the lowest risk and Category 4 being the highest. With regards to toxicity, pyocyanin is a Category 4 substance and extreme care was taken during our wet lab to ensure our own safety and any contact with pyocyanin would warrant immediate medical attention, PMS on the other hand is a Category 0 substance and thus is far easier and safer to handle. OSHA pages on PMS (http://datasheets.scbt.com/sc-215700.pdf): OSHA pages on Pyocyanin (http://datasheets.scbt.com/sds/aghs/en/sc-205475.pdf).Cost comparison between PMS and common inducer molecules
A cursory look at the costs of PMS, pyocyanin and common inducer molecules (such as IPTG) already reveal stark differences in costs per gram. When accounting for working concentrations, this difference is further magnified as summarized in a table below. However costs only matter if it can be shown that PMS can have a similar fold induction to common inducer molecules such as IPTG and experimental results for fold induction can be found below.
