Safety Considerations for Biotechnology Scale-Up of Micro-Organisms As Biofertilizers: Scale-Up of Micro-Organisms As Biofertilizers

Addresses the question of the environmental safety of the scale-up of microorganisms developed by biotechnology for use as biofertilizers. It describes how the concept of "familiarity" with microorganisms as biofertilizers, the introduced trait, the environment, and their interactions will help facilitate risk/safety analysis and manage possible risks in the context of scaling up modified microorganisms towards commercial release.
