My name is Monika Jakubiak. I read your message about tween 80 because I am interested in this chemical. I work in Maco Productions Polonia in Poland. We produce blood bags and anticoagulating solutions. In our microbiological laboratory we analyse biocontamination of these bags. We use 0,9% NaCl for this analyse, but we would like to add tween 80 to NaCl to recover more bacteria (Bacillus trophaeum). We are looking for more information about toxicity, concentration and stability of tween 80. I will be very grateful if you send me more information or some articles about tween 80. Thank you and I'waiting for your answer. Monika Jakubiak.

The biosafety level is determined by the US Public Health Service. Here is a definition of the biosafety levels posted on the www.atcc.org web page: Biosafety Levels ATCC products are sent with the condition that you are responsible for their safe storage, handling, and use. ATCC is not liable for damages or injuries resulting from receipt and/or use of ATCC materials. ATCC has classified cultures and related products by biosafety level (BSL) for purposes of packaging for safe shipment. The classification is based on assessment of the potential risk using U.S. Public Health Service guidelines, background information on the material provided by the depositor and review of the material by ATCC scientists familiar with the material. Each item is evaluated individually and in some cases the ATCC assigned biosafety level is more restrictive. Those items in BSL-1 are not known to cause disease in healthy adult humans. Materials in BSL-2 present a moderate risk and should be handled under BSL-2 guidelines. Handling of BSL-3 strains requires the use of BSL-3 laboratory practices and containment. All infectious materials should be handled under the supervision of a competent and knowledgeable scientist. It is ultimately the recipient's and their institution's responsibility to determine the biosafety level and work with the material under the appropriate containment for the laboratory manipulations being performed. The Web site for the CDC's Office of Health and Safety has complete descriptions of the biosafety levels in the text of the publication Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories, (BMBL) 5th Edition (HHS Publication No. (CDC) 93-8395. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health; U.S. Government Printing Office: Washington DC; 2007). It is available in its entirety online. Information on agent risk assessment may be found in the Agent Summary Statements of this publication. -- John Gentile Newsletter editor Rhode Island Apple Group From jayvijay.suryawanshi from gmail.com Fri Feb 8 07:07:13 2008 From: jayvijay.suryawanshi from gmail.com (jeevan) Date: Fri Feb 8 13:32:44 2008 Subject: [Microbiology] Bacteriocin Production process Message-ID: Dear Sir, Please provide me information related to bacteriocin production process regards Vijay 9881716097 From donaldson from biology.msstate.edu Mon Feb 18 17:05:59 2008 From: donaldson from biology.msstate.edu (Janet R.
