Selenium Nanoparticle Synthesized by <i>Proteus mirabilis</i> YC801: An Efficacious Pathway for Selenite Biotransformation and Detoxification

Selenite is extremely biotoxic, and as a result of this, exploitation of microorganisms able to reduce selenite to non-toxic elemental selenium (Se<sup>0</sup>) has attracted great interest. In this study, a bacterial strain exhibiting extreme tolerance to selenite (up to 100 mM) was iso...
