20、o the environment, it is important to ensure the validity of sampling strategies used to monitor the release. The sampling strategy and the statistical analysis used will vary with the predicted frequency of occurrence and spatial distribution of the relevant GMMs or genes in the area studied. Since

21、 there are many different techniques available for the detection and the identification of GMMs, this European Standard is formulated as a recommendation to the experimenter to design a sampling strategy appropriate to the purpose of the field experiment, to the micro-organisms and to the particular

22、 phenotypic and genotypic properties of the GMMs being used. This European Standard gives the experimenter a list of points that should be considered in determining the validity of a sampling strategy comprising valid design, review, execution and documentation of a sampling protocol. 1 Scope This E

23、uropean Standard provides guidance concerning the procedures for setting up a valid sampling strategy to meet the objectives of a monitoring strategy for GMMs released into the environment. Since monitoring methods of micro-organisms in environmental samples usually require pre-treatment of the samp

24、les, for example the extraction and isolation of GMMs and/or their nucleic acid, this is included in the scope of this European Standard. The sampling is to provide material to which subsequent analytical or biological methods for monitoring of GMMs can be applied (see EN 12685). This European Stand

25、ard is intended to address sampling of micro-organisms, including viruses (and their relevant hosts), or their nucleic acid. This European Standard does not cover: the sampling of virus-like entities or similar agents; the sampling of GMMs in food, human health and veterinary applications. NOTE Atte

26、ntion is drawn to national, European and international regulations, and relevant standards covering the sampling of GMMs in food, human health and veterinary applications. This European Standard can be applied to sampling of GMMs in all habitats and micro-environments as required to meet the defined

27、 experimental objectives. The mode of sampling and the nature of the samples are dependent on the particular purpose. Therefore this European Standard provides the experimenter with a list of guiding parameters that should be considered in determining the validity of the proposed strategy for sampli

37、 4 General considerations In order to evaluate the validity of a proposed sampling design, the following considerations should be taken into account. The availability and use of adequate controls is essential for the validity of the results. The design of most field trials with GMMs follows the same

38、 principles as applied to field trials with micro-organisms which are not genetically modified. Statistical analysis, required for quantitative evaluation, determines the sampling design and hence the validity of the results. The purpose of the experiment should be clearly defined in order to prepar

39、e a statistically adequate protocol for sampling. Specific requirements of any subsequent detection and identification method, should be considered and can influence the utility of the results for monitoring purposes (see prEN 12685). NOTE The development of a monitoring and sampling valid strategy

40、for deliberate releases of genetically modified micro-organisms in the environment is summarized in Figure A.1. 5 Sampling strategy 5.1 General It is first necessary to determine the objectives of the sampling strategy. The main steps in the development of the sampling strategy are: a) statement of

41、experimental objectives; b) design and review of sampling protocol; c) execution of the sampling protocol; d) appropriate record keeping. Responsibilities should be assigned for each step to a specific authority, organization or person. The sampling strategy should be reviewed regularly, for example

42、 in the light of the inspections of the release site and monitoring results, to ensure its continuing validity (see EN 12685). 5.2 Design criteria The design of the sampling protocol should meet defined objectives as determined by the experimenter. The design can vary widely, given distinctive requi

43、rements for, for example, trials to study phenotypic properties of GMMs, gene transfer, or dispersal and/or persistence of GMMs in the environment. Depending on the objectives for which the sampling is carried out, the nature and composition of the samples which are collected, can be different. Samp

44、ling can involve host material, soil and water, but also air (e.g. dispersal of spores), animals or plant parts (e.g. roots harbouring symbiotic micro-organisms). The protocol for sampling should be part of the preparation and design of the experiment, keeping the flexibility that could be required

45、by unexpected observations, and should therefore be supported by a clear design of the experiment. Parameters such as starting date or period, location(s) and site size, number of genotypes, are important in the development of the design. When designing the sampling protocol a very important factor

46、concerns the pre-treatment of the samples which is required to allow subsequent detection and/or identification of GMMs. The choice of the pre-treatment procedure is affected by the nature and composition of the samples and also by the demands of the detection and/or identification technique used fo

47、r monitoring and/or characterization of the GMM. Many of these techniques require extraction of micro-organisms, nucleic acid and/or gene products from the sample. Examples of approaches for detection and isolation of GMMs from environmental samples are: bioassay; filtration techniques; decanting an

48、d sieving; centrifugation and gradient centrifugation; immunological techniques; affinity techniques; culturing and propagation techniques.Page 5 EN 12686:1998 BSI 1998 For the extraction of macromolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins, the above techniques and the following are also appropria

49、te: lysis by freeze-thawing; extraction with organic solvent(s); lysis using lytic enzymes; cellular disruption techniques (e.g. disruption using glass-beads, disruption by sonication, disruption by a French Press); homogenization. Alternatively, macromolecules can be extracted directly from the sample without prior isolation of a GMM. Each of the above listed treatments generates losses of the target GMM or macromolecules. In case a combination of techniques is utilized, these losses are c
