Bioreactors for Recombinant DNA Technology

This classification is quoted from Guidelinefor Industrial Application of Recombinant DNA Technology which has been published by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry in Japan. This guideline can be applied 

Regulatory guidelines for industrial applications of recombinant DNA technology, even though there are differences in each country, are primarily based on Recombinant DNA Safety Considerations following the Recommendation of the Council, which have been recommended to the member nations of OECD in 1986. 

Category 1. A nonpathogenic recipient organism which is not included in the above GILSP. 

Category 2. A recipient organism having undeniable pathogenicity to humans that might cause infection when directly handled. However, the infection will probably not result in a serious outbreak in cases where effective preventive and therapeutic methods are known.
