Biosafety is the primary concern in clinical and biomedical fields worldwide. The need to initiate biosafety and biosecurity standards/measures is expanding because of the conceivable double utilisation of microbial microorganisms and the need to develop mindfulness. Lab-related contamination (LAI) results in sicknesses and lethal results for lab workers. This happens because of carelessness regarding any […]

This article deals with the classification of biological agents based on their risk level. They are organised in a way of hazard level lowest to the hazard level highest. It is a collection of measures that must be followed in a laboratory environment. Biosafety is a term for safeguarding researchers from harmful disease-causing pathogens. Biohazards

Biosafety issues are the principles, policies, and procedures adopted to protect and safeguard the humans and environment. It includes practices, strategies, and guides to prevent and check the environment’s exposure to toxins and pathogens. Here the primary objective of these measures is to keep a check on harmful chemicals and biological agents, radiations, etc. In

Introduction Humanity has seen the rise in terrorism, economic inflation and climate change since the dawn of the 21st century. These are the main threats to a peaceful and healthy life. However, many people are unaware of the hidden hunger that lurks in the background. Half of the world’s population is at risk of deficiency

Environmental contamination has become a major source of worry due to our modern lifestyles. Chemical fertilisers used in order to fulfil the ever-increasing demand for agricultural produce have contributed greatly to this pollution. Of course, we’ve now realised that excessive use of chemical fertilisers causes difficulties, and there’s a lot of push to move to

Biocontrol can be described as the control of a particular type of live creature through the application of a different kind of organism. In addition to being known as biological control, the application of biocontrol agents is primarily employed for the decrease of pest populations as well as the production of pest-free yields. The biocontrol

Introduction to biofortification methods Crop biofortification means the biological processing of crops so that these crops have improved yield and higher nutritional value. According to a research survey conducted in 2019, around 800 million people in the world suffer from malnutrition. About 98% of the total malnutrition is from people living in developing countries. Over

Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms that can be found in their millions in every environment, both inside and outside of other organisms. Bacteria are found in every environment, both inside and outside of other organisms. Some bacteria are harmful, but the majority of bacteria are beneficial. They provide support for a wide range of life

 Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a member of the genus Bacillus. Bt is not the only bacteria used as an insecticide; other bacteria such as B. popilliae and B. sphaericus are also employed; however, their spectrum of insecticidal action is far more limited than that of Bt. In addition to being safe for people, Bt is

Bacillus species are rod-shaped bacteria that are aerobic, sporulating, and found in abundance throughout nature. Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, is the only Bacillus pathogen that is obligatory in vertebrates. Bacillus larvae, Bacillus lentimorbus, Bacillus popilliae, Bacillus sphaericus, and Bacillus thuringiensis are pathogens of specific groups of insects. Bacillus larvae, Bacillus lentimorbus, Bacillus
