BSL 1 Biosafety Level 1 is suitable for work involving well-characterized microorganisms not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adults, and of minimal potential hazard to laboratory personnel and the environment. Safety equipment none required. Microorganisms include Bacillus subtilis, Naegleria gruberi, and infectious canine hepatitis virus.
