“…Studies have also shown the benefits of the uptake of adequate amounts of Se due to its anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic, antioxidative, antipathogenic, and antiinflammatory properties (Shen et al, 2010;Fairweather-Tait et al, 2011;Ren et al, 2011;Rayman, 2012;Kieliszek and Błazejak, 2013;Yazdi et al, 2013;Alfthan et al, 2015). Discoveries regarding the importance of Se for human health have aroused interest in research involving the bioaccumulation of this trace element in different LAB species with probiotic potential and their use in creating enriched and functional foods (Fisinin et al, 2009;Alzate et al, 2010;Pieniz et al, 2011;Palomo et al, 2014;Vodnar and Socaciu, 2014;Deng et al, 2015;Pusztahelyi et al, 2015).…”
