Material Safety Data Sheet

We herewith confirm for the following strains

DSM 720 Azotobacter vinelandii (Risk Group1*)

DSM 2222 Ampelomyces quisqualis (Risk Group1*)
DSM 7 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (Risk Group1*)
DSM 27 Bacillus pumilus (Risk Group1*)
DSM 24461 Paenibacillus mucilaginosus (Risk Group1*)
DSM 28 Lysinibacillus sphaericus (Risk Group1*)
DSM 1859 Azospirillum brasilense (Risk Group1*)

Risk Group 1 strains are not known or suspected to contain an etiologic agent, host or vector of
human disease.

Risk Group 2 strains can be pathogenic to humans and/or animals.

* Classification according to German national regulations

The above material will be packaged, labelled and transported in accordance with regulations that
are applicable for DSMZ.

Use is for research purposes only.

The exporter of the products covered by this document declares that they are of german
preferential origin.

Handling and Safety Instructions

All consignments containing microorganisms must be unpacked in an appropriately equipped

laboratory. Cultivation and handling is restricted to laboratories meeting the containment
requirements laid down by the responsible authorities. Microorganisms, including genetically
engineered strains, may be pathogenic to humans, animals or plants. Therefore, cultures must be
handled on one’s own authority according to appropriate regulations and by, or under the
supervision of persons trained and competent in microbiological techniques.

1. Identification of the Biological Agent

 Microbial culture, inoculum for preparing cultures, for laboratory use only!

 Species name and strain number as given on delivery note

 Form of supplied material: freeze-dried or active or frozen culture

2. Hazards Identification: RiskAssessment and Laboratory Containment Level

 Each microorganism delivered with this consignment is classified according to German
legislation (Biostoff-Verordnung). If a strain is allocated to Risk Group 2 (equivalent terms
are Hazard Group or Biological Safety Level), this information is given on the DSMZ
homepage under the respective species information and on the delivery note.

 Required laboratory containment level: corresponds to the Risk Group of the

microorganism. Consult applicable regulations.

 Apart from infectivity/pathogenicity, genetically modified microorganisms are to be

handled according to relevant national legislation and under contained use only.

 Toxin production, if known: see 7.

 Avoid all direct physical contact with the organism, e.g. dust (aerosols), skin and eye
contact.

3. First Aid Measures

In case of contact, wash contaminated skin thoroughly with antiseptic soap and water. If wound
contamination is suspected and in case of ingestion/inhalation, seek immediate medical
attention. Inform medical practitioner of name of the microorganism.

4. Accidental Release Measures and Spillage/Environmental Precautions

 Decontaminate/sterilize/autoclave all material which might be in contact with the culture.

 Keep culture material away from drains, surface-and ground-water and soil.

 If culture vial is accidentally broken, soak contaminated area with appropriate disinfectant.

 Broken glass has to be picked up with forceps.

5. Handling and Storage

 Ampoules/cultures must be opened and used by trained persons in a laboratory of
appropriate containment level.

 All cultures delivered by DSMZ are for immediate use (see our conditions of delivery).
Before use, store cultures in a cool, dark place.

 Instructions for opening of ampoules with dried cultures are provided with the shipment.

6. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Depends upon the Risk Group of delivered culture and is described in the respective containment
level instructions (in Germany, see the Biostoff-Verordnung). Precautionary measures such as lab
coat and, if required, protective gloves and glasses minimise worker's exposure.

7. Toxicological Information

See strain information as given in the DSMZ catalogue of strains (online catalogue:
www.dsmz.de). Possible restrictions on handling and distribution of certain toxin producers are
given in the catalogue. Information given by DSMZ on possible or known toxin production of any
strain is not exhaustive! DSMZ does not perform toxicity tests with cultures.

8. Disposal

Sterilize all cultures before disposal.
