Reduction of selenite to selenium nanospheres by Se(IV)-resistant Lactobacillus paralimentarius JZ07

Flame-Retardant and Self-Healing Waterborne Polyurethane Based on Organic Selenium

“…These compositions are presumed by the fact that the oxygen content of the water-soluble matter for the dripping of SWPU-5 films is markedly increased (Table S2), and the selenium element is accompanied with the oxygen element in the water-soluble matter (Figure S10), so the water-soluble matter is speculated to possess the oxide of selenium. The most normal oxide of selenium is selenium dioxide, and the SWPU- x films’ surfaces all look red, which might be elemental selenium . The sediment for the dripping of SWPU-5 films is also observed by EDS, and it is obvious that the weight percentage of selenium is 67.55% and areas of selenium are without carbon and oxygen (Figure S11).…”

Afterward, the existence of selenium trioxide is supposed by the good adhesion of the dripping in the root of SWPU-x, which is hard to be cleared and remains wet for a long time compared with the dripping of WPU as shown in Figure 6d.…”

A novel selenite‐tolerant rhizosphere bacterium Wautersiella enshiensis sp. nov., isolated from Chinese selenium hyperaccumulator, Cardamine hupingshanensis

“…In the present study, the formation of extracellular nano-Se is a simple process T A B L E 3 Total Se contents and Se speciation in the cells of strain YLX-1 T during the growth under 1.5 mg Se (as Na 2 SeO 3 )/L. of selenite detoxification which can prevent cellular Se overload; meanwhile, it could be a promising strategy to synthesize nano-Se to avoid tedious process of cell disruption and solvent extraction during nano-Se separation [36]. Besides, Jiao et al [37] recently reported that the addition of 0.1 mg/kg nano-Se to soil would cause the crosstalk between root exudates and rhizobacteria, which significantly promoted rice seedling growth.…”

“…Compared with the inorganic Se [32], nano‐Se has higher bioavailability, lower toxicity, and controlled‐release effects, which can be a source of Se supplement for Se‐deficient population [33] with the potential anticancer activity [34] and antiviral and antibacterial activities as well as coloring [35].

Selenite Bioremediation by Food-Grade Probiotic Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393: Insights from Proteomics Analysis

“…As a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) microorganism, probiotics have the characteristics of nonpathogenicity, rapid growth, and can also produce a variety of proteins and enzymes involved in selenite reduction and SeNPs synthesis ( 23 ). Li et al ( 24 ) investigated the ability of eight lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to tolerate and convert selenite and found that the Lactobacillus paralimentarius strain JZ07 exhibited high levels of selenite resistance and biotransformation. Rajasree and ( 25 ) Gayathri reported that using Lactobacillus spp.…”
