Safety
During our time doing the iGEM project we adhered to rules set by the University and the iGEM team.
In respect to our project, eventhough our project has a major thoertical element to it, we had considered the idea that our genetically modified bacteria may not fully colonise the gut as we expect it to. To ensure that safety is maintained for the person who has our bacteria in their system and for the environment it may release to, we considered the addition of a kill switch. More details are present in the Kill Switch section of the Project
