Here, polypyrrole (PPY) was first used to the bioreduction of toxic selenite, while the acceleration effect and mechanism were explored. Experiment results suggested that PPY could enhance the selenite bioreduction from 0.42 to 1.04 mg/(L·h). The tests of electrochemical analysis and cytochrome c (cyt-c) content confirmed that PPY promoted the intracellular/intracellular electron transfer of Shewanella oneidensis·MR-1 in selenite bioreduction process. The enhancement of metabolic activity by PPY contributed to biological detoxification, which was manifested in the increased extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), electron transfer system activity (ETSA), membrane permeability and enzyme activity. Transcriptome analysis of DEGs, KEGG pathway enrichment and GO functional classification verified that the environmental adaptability of Shewanella oneidensis·MR-1 was enhanced with the addition of PPY. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images indicated that PPY promoted the biosynthesis of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), which was beneficial to reduce cell damage. Combined with the above results, a multifaceted synergistic facilitation mechanism based on "conductive cross-linking network" was elaborated from electron transfer, microbial metabolism and environmental adaptability. This study shed light the effect of conductive polymers (CPs) on selenite bioreduction and provided new insights into the bioremediation of toxic pollutants.

Review of the potential for selenium remobilization in semi-passive treatment systems of mine impacted waters.

Biological semi-passive mine water treatment technologies are used in the mining industry as an alternative to or in conjunction with active treatment systems to remediate mine impacted water (MIW) containing nitrate and selenium oxyanions such as selenate and selenite. In semi-passive biological treatment systems, MIW is pumped through a saturated, porous media (either a gravel bed or waste rock) which provides ample surface area for biofilm growth and the creation of anoxic, subaqueous environments. Additional nutrients and carbon sources are pumped into the system to encourage the growth of microbes that biochemically reduce selenate and selenite to insoluble reduced Se species such as selenium nanoparticles (SeNP) by respiring selenate and selenite.

Microbial reduction of selenium oxyanions, highly soluble, mobile and toxic inorganic selenium compounds, to insoluble selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) is a widely spread phenomenon which is of geochemical, environmental and biotechnological importance. While selenite bioreduction is known for a wide variety of microorganisms, selenate bioreduction is not so common and has mostly been documented for anaerobes, with merely a few reported cases related to aerobic or microaerobic conditions. In some biogenic Se NPs of microbial origin, the presence of sulfur was detected together with selenium in Se NPs, particularly when increased concentrations of sulfate were present in the medium.

Selenium, an essential micronutrient with potent anticancer and antioxidant properties, the inorganic form of selenium is highly toxic, while organic and elemental nanoforms are more bioavailable and less toxic and have gained attention owing to their dietary and clinical relevance. This study aims to optimize conditions for the biosynthesis and production of elemental selenium nanoparticles for selenium supplements using marine microalgae, Nannochloropsis oceanica CASA CC201. The 10 mM precursor solution treated with 1 % of the algal extract (10:1 ratio of precursor and algal extract, respectively) was shown to be the optimal concentration for synthesizing highly stable selenium nanoparticles with a size of 183 nm and a zeta potential of -38.

Article Synopsis
- Selenium nanospheres (SeNPs) are less toxic and more bioavailable than traditional selenite salts, making them a potentially safer option for various applications.
- * Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NML21 efficiently converts selenite (Se(IV)) into SeNPs, demonstrating strong tolerance under selenium stress, even leading to cell deformation and rupture.
- * The study utilized various analytical techniques to characterize the SeNPs and proposed mechanisms behind their formation and release, indicating NML21's potential for synthesizing SeNPs in biotechnological applications.
