In recent years, the interest in developing genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs), including GMMs developed by genome editing, for use environment has significantly increased. However, scientific knowledge on ecology of such is severely limited. There also little experience at hands regulators how to evaluate environmental safety and assess whether they provide sustainable alternatives current (agricultural) production systems. This review analyzes two different GMM applications, GM microalgae biofuel nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria as biofertilizers. We challenges posed regulatory risk assessment (ERA) against background GMO legislation existing European Union (EU). Based our analysis, we present recommendations ERA monitoring particular improvement EU guidance. explore approaches technology can a framework broader applications. To this end, recommend implementing an evidence-based sustainability analysis other methods support decision making address societal concerns linked applications environment.
