This book provides an overview of the available methodology for safety assessments of microorganisms, including determination of their infectivity and whether they produce toxic or sensitizing substances. Also covered are the regulatory systems in risk assessment and management of microbial products, quarantine legislations, international treaties, the importance of public risk perception and risk reducti 606 $aFood$xMicrobiology 606 $aMicrobial ecology 615 0$aFood$xMicrobiology. 615 0$aMicrobial ecology. 676 $a363.19/26 676 $a363.1926 701 $aSundh$b Ingvar$01229921 701 $aWilcks$b Andrea$01229922 701 $aGoettel$b Mark S$g(Mark Stanislaw),$f1954-$0962550 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910284954703321 996 $aBeneficial microorganisms in agriculture, food and the environment$92854961 997 $aUNINA
