SAFETY
Genetically modified organisms escaping from lab is a serious problem since it will bring unpredictable impacts to our ecosystem. In our part design and production line, we were very conscious of biosafety. The yeast will pass the following process to achieve complete destruction. We also dealt cautiously with waste produced from the experiment and participated in safety training to ensure everyone conducting experiments had a minimal probability to cause biohazard pollution.
Filtering system
The average size of the P. pastoris used is about 4–6 μm [1], and the filter we used is 33 kDa, which is equivalent to the size of tens of nanometers [2], more than sufficient to trap all the yeast.
Heating system
According to the literature [3], heating at 70 °C for 1 day is sufficient to kill the cells. We used a temperature of 110 ° C for 10 minutes to kill any cells that might pass through the filter.
Following were our heating test:
Figure1: P. pastoris heated at 30 °C for 1 day
Figure2: P. pastoris heated at 50 °C for 1 day
Figure3: P. pastoris heated at 70 °C for 1 day
We found that our P. pastoris not survival after were heated at 50 °C for 30 minutes. Thus, our production line heat process would kill P. pastoris passing through the filter.
