The Nagoya Protocol is based on concepts of biological diversity that are hardly applicable to microorganisms. Because of this incongruence, the Nagoya Protocol threatens future microbial research, potentially defeating its original purpose. Countries with appropriate regulations can promote science and their bioeconomy through international collaboration and simultaneously gain a competitive advantage.
《名古屋议定书》所基于的生物多样性概念,对于微生物来说几乎不适用。由于这种不匹配,《名古屋议定书》威胁到未来的微生物研究,可能使其最初的目的落空。拥有适当法规的国家可以通过国际合作促进科学和生物经济发展,同时获得竞争优势。
