  • Abstract
    The adequacy of the existing treatment, disposal and recycling processes of waste streams from biotechnological laboratories and industrial processes, especially those using genetically modified microorganisms, have been repeatedly discussed. Here, we focus on the discussions linked to the DNA content of these wastes, the properties of extracellular (or ‘naked’) DNA and the ability to transfer genetic information between bacteria (e.g. antibiotic resistances) or into higher organisms.
