Availability of an Environmental Assessment for a Field Test of Two Non-pathogenic, Genetically Engineered Strains of Burkholderia glumae

View Comment

We are submitting the enclosed brief 'Dangerous Field Test of Non-pathogenic GM Bacteria' by Prof. Joe Cummins and Dr. Mae-Wan Ho on Behalf of the Institute for Science in Society , London, UK. We are commenting on Availability of an Environmental Assessment for a Field Test of Two Non-pathogenic, Genetically Engineered Strains of Burkholderia glumae APHIS-2007-0021 The non-pathogenic GM bacteria not only carry antibiotic resistance marker genes, but the proposed field tests will also involve the release of the wild-type bacterium that is pathogenic to rice and may cause disease in human beings
