Answer:

BSL or the biological safety levels refers to an array of protections consigned to autoclave-associated activities, which occurs in specific biological labs. The BSL-3 refers to the biosafety level that generally comprises work on microbes, which are either exotic or indigenous and can result in potentially or extreme lethal disease via inhalation. The examples of microorganisms that are handled in BSL=3 comprises West Nile virus, yellow fever, and the bacteria, which leads to tuberculosis.

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The microbes would be toxic or have potential to cause a lethal disease.
  • Highly infectious, like Mycobacterium tuberculosis which is readily and highly transmitted by inhalation and aerosol means.
  • Can contaminate the environment.
  • The treatment or prophylactic measures are expensive and inefficient.

The analysis of total microbial genomes in an environment is called _________________________and the total microbial genomes in
Levart [38]

The analysis of total microbial genomes in an environment is called metagenomics and the total microbial genomes in an environment (or the total microbial community itself) is called a microbiome.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The study that is associated with the genetic materials that are obtained directly form the sample in an environment refers to the term Meta genomics or  ecogenomics or community genomics. It can be considered as the process through which the  meta genome is produced.

The genetic material of the microbes such as  fungi, bacteria, viruses and protozoa refers to microbiome. These microbes lives inside the body of humans. The weight may range upto 5 pounds for these microbiomes. Micorbiomes are the total number of micro genomes that are present in the environment.
