In this study, the presence of minor Se-containing volatiles in Se-enriched green onions (Allium fistulosum) was investigated using the combination of high-resolution mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and a simple relative mass defect-based algorithm to aid trace level analysis of unknown components. This confirmed the structures of volatiles reported previously, along with several unreported small molecular weight Se-containing volatiles from plants, such as MeSeSeSMe. This data analysis technique was also useful to link the results obtained from molecular and elemental mass spectrometry thus aiding in the search for new trace level Se-containing volatiles.

Selenium (Se) is both a micronutrient required for most life and an element of environmental concern due to its toxicity at high concentrations, and both bioavailability and toxicity are largely influenced by the Se oxidation state. Environmentally relevant fungi have been shown to aerobically reduce Se(IV) and Se(VI), the generally more toxic and bioavailable Se forms. The goal of this study was to shed light on fungal Se(IV) reduction pathways and biotransformation products over time and fungal growth stages.

The accumulation and volatilization of Se by algae in surface water are important parts of the biogeochemical cycle of selenium but are also variable and complex. Experiments with 5-8 day of exposure under various temperatures, solution pH values, lighting regimes, and different initial Se concentrations were carried out to study the change in Se accumulation and volatilization behavior of algae. The study showed that algae accumulated and volatilized more Se under harsher environments, such as a lower pH, a shorter lighting time, and a higher Se load.

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for humans and other animals. The human body mainly acquires Se from plant foods, especially cereal grains. Rice is the staple food for more than half of the world's population.

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for most organisms yet can cause severe negative biological consequences at elevated levels. The oxidized forms of Se, selenate [Se(VI)] and selenite [Se(IV)], are more mobile, toxic, and bioavailable than the reduced forms of Se such as volatile or solid phases. Thus, selenate and selenite pose a greater threat to ecosystems and human health.

In our previous studies, Chlorella vulgaris had proven highly efficient in removing selenium (Se) from water, while the disposal of Se containing in algal biomass was still an issue of concern. Firstly, this research suggests algal Se could be released back to water, posing risks to aquatic wildlife. Thus, we further explored the possibility of using C.
