Abstract:The influence of the fermentation process on selenite metabolism by a probiotic Bifidobacterium longum DD98 (B. longum DD98), and its consequent enrichment in selenium (Se) were studied. The effects of sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) concentration (18−400 μg/mL), feeding time (12, 16, and 24 h), and fermentation stage (secondary and tertiary fermentation) were evaluated by measuring i) the total Se content and its distribution between the water-soluble metabolome fraction and the water-insoluble fraction; ii) the to… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
