Click HERE for a copy of the US EPA letter to us addressing bacterial "approval" issues. Most other countries have adopted similar rules governing the introduction, movement, and field release of micro-organisms. These rules are applied only to "regulated articles or materials". A typical example of what is regulated is provided by the Philippine Bio-safety Guidelines (1991), a paragraph of which follows: |
| Regulated article or material - any organism which has been altered or produced through genetic engineering, if the donor organism, recipient organism, or vector or vector agent belongs to any genera or taxa designated in Appendix 3 and/or meets the definition of pest, or pathogen, or is an unclassified organism and/or an organism whose classification is unknown; or any product which contains such an organism, or any organism or product altered or produced through genetic engineering which the appropriate authority determines, or has reason to believe, is a pest or pathogen. Excluded are microoganisms and products which are not pests or pathogens, that have resulted from genetic manipulations in which all donor and recipient organisms and materials are well characterized and innocuous. |
Alken Clear-Flo® products are NOT regulated under
this definition because they are natural isolates and are NOT "altered
or produced through genetic engineering". They are also NOT regulated
by APHIS as plant pathogens or FIFRA as biocides or herbicides. Certain Alken Clear-Flo and Alken Enz-Odor products were also authorized for specific applications by the United States Department of Agriculture.
