Methods for the biological inactivation of nucleic acids

摘要

Material which is produced in biotechnological production processes and is contaminated with the genetically manipulated microorganisms used (fermentation broth residues, washing water etc.) is collected in containers and broken down by autolysis and/or deliberate contamination with naturally occurring bacteria, yeasts or moulds or by the addition of purified immobilised or non-immobilised nucleases.
