Selenite Reduction and the Biogenesis of Selenium Nanoparticles by Alcaligenes faecalis Se03 Isolated from the Gut of Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Selenite Reduction and the Biogenesis of Selenium Nanoparticles by Alcaligenes faecalis Se03 Isolated from the Gut of Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

In this study, a bacterial strain exhibiting high selenite (Na2SeO3) tolerance and reduction capacity was isolated from the gut of Monochamus alternatus larvae and identified as Alcaligenes faecalis Se03. The isolate exhibited extreme tolerance to selenite (up to 120 mM) when grown aerobically. In t...
