During the last decades, the perception of selenium has undergone substantial changes.
While its toxic effects were recognized causing hair and hoof loss in animals during the …

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are gaining importance in the food and medical fields due
to their antibacterial properties. The microbial inhibition of these kinds of particles has been …

In situ reduction of selenite to elemental selenium (Se (0)), by microorganisms in sediments
and soils is an important process and greatly affects the environmental distribution and the …

Bacterial anaerobic respiration using selenium oxyanions as the sole electron acceptor
primarily result in the precipitation of selenium biominerals observed as either intracellular …

Microbial processes are known to mediate selenium (Se) oxidation–reduction reactions,
strongly influencing Se speciation, bioavailability, and transport throughout the environment …

Previously, we isolated a selenate-and arsenate-reducing bacterium, designated strain SF-
1, from selenium-contaminated sediment and identified it as a novel species, Bacillus …

Removal of the toxic selenium compounds selenite and selenate from waste water before
discharge is becoming increasingly imperative in industrialized countries. Bacteria can …

Elevated selenium levels in the environment, with soluble selenate [Se (VI)] as the common
chemical species, pose a severe threat to human health. Anaerobic Se (VI) bioreduction is a …

The search for novel biosurfactants (Bs) requires the isolation of microorganisms from
different environments. The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is a geographical area active in the …

Abstract Selenate [Se (VI)] with higher content in groundwater will be harmful for human
beings. Hence, effective treatment for Se (VI) in aquifer should be conducted reasonably …
