What is the biosafety level and CFIA risk group of Bacillus azotofixans?

Bacillus azotofixans — also classified as Paenibacillus azotofixans and Paenibacillus durum — is assigned a human biosafety Risk Group 1 (RG1) designation by Health Canada's ePATHogen Risk Group Database. The database records the organism as a bacterium, with no containment level assigned.

For growers, formulators, and regulatory reviewers searching the Bacillus azotofixans biosafety level or the Paenibacillus azotofixans risk group, the relevant ePATHogen entry appears under the synonym Paenibacillus durus and carries only the RG1 human classification. No additional containment requirements are listed in the record.
