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 …

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 …

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

The reduction of selenite (Se (IV)) and tellurite (Te (IV)) by Escherichia coli was significantly
enhanced by various quinone redox mediators (lawsone, menadione, anthraquinone-2 …

Selenium pollution in aquatic environments poses a major global challenge, with a
significant gap in effective treatment technologies. In this study, we explored a novel …
