Question

It is good practice to autoclave all cultures before disposal, even if the culture is of a non-pathogenic organism. Autoclaving not only kills the cells in the culture, but denatures and destroys proteins and nucleic acids. Based on what you have learned in this laboratory exercise, why is it especially important to autoclave genetically engineered organisms before disposal

Answer 1

Answer:

Most of the GMO are hazardous therefore inactivation of the GMO is very important , so that they are completely  or partially destroyed before disposal. This is needed to provide high level of protection  for the surrounding environment inhabited by man and other organisms to be deposited..

In all cases at least 99-100% inactivation must be achieved.
