“…Elemental selenium nanoparticles can be formed naturally in certain bacteria, [41][42][43] and can be prepared through inorganic selenium reduction in the presence of protein or polysaccharide. 20,[44][45][46] Various sizes of selenium nanoparticles can be obtained by changing the concentration of a protein such as bovine serum albumin.…”

Background: Elemental selenium nanoparticles have emerged as a novel selenium source with the advantage of reduced risk of selenium toxicity. The present work investigated whether heat treatment affects the size, structure, and bioactivity of selenium nanoparticles. Methods and results: After a one-hour incubation of solution containing 80 nm selenium particles in a 90°C water bath, the nanoparticles aggregated into larger 110 nm particles and nanorods (290 nm × 70 nm), leading to significantly reduced bioavailability and phase II enzyme induction in selenium-deficient mice. When a solution containing 40 nm selenium nanoparticles was treated under the same conditions, the nanoparticles aggregated into larger 72 nm particles but did not transform into nanorods, demonstrating that the thermostability of selenium nanoparticles is size-dependent, smaller selenium nanoparticles being more resistant than larger selenium nanoparticles to transformation into nanorods during heat treatment. Conclusion:The present results suggest that temperature and duration of the heat process, as well as the original nanoparticle size, should be carefully selected when a solution containing selenium nanoparticles is added to functional foods.

“…Thus, the bacterial strain used in the current study can be utilized as a nanofactory for large-scale commercial production of selenium nanoparticles. It is significant to note that, in the literature, selenium nanoparticle producing bacteria are reported in wide range of environments under aerobic and anaerobic conditions including in sludge and sewerage (Mishra et al 2011). The anaerobic/anoxic bacteria include strains such as Selenihalanaerobacter shriftii DSSE1, Sulfurospirillum barnesii (Oremland et al 2004), Rhodopseudomonas palustris N (Li et al 2014), Veillonella atypica (Pearce et al 2008), Shewanella putrefaciens 200 (Jiang et al 2012), Shewanella sp.…”

Background: An attempt was made to isolate selenite-reducing bacteria from a contaminated lake that receives industrial effluents and domestic sewage. The isolated dominant bacterial strain AJK3 was identified as Bacillus cereus, based on biochemical characterization and 16S rDNA sequencing. The time dependent selenium removal at different selenite concentrations monitored with ICP-AES indicates the substantial selenite reduction capability of the isolated strain. The selenium nanoparticles produced during the bacterial reduction of selenite were analyzed with UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, zeta potential measurement, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Results:The nanoparticle synthesis was confirmed from the red colour emergence in culture broth and wide UV-vis peaks. The produced nanoparticles were polydisperse, spherical, size varied from 50 to 150 nm and the mean particle size was about 93 nm. The amorphous nature of the generated nanoparticles was confirmed from the Raman spectroscopy, XRD and SAED patterns. The IR data and zeta potential values substantiated the protein capping of the produced nanoparticles. Conclusions:Thus, the present study suggests that the isolated bacterial strain can be exploited as a prospective, renewable, natural, nanofactory for the bacteriogenic synthesis of nanoparticles. Also, the study has application in bioremediation of selenite from the contaminated environment.

“…Extracellular or intracellular selenium nanoparticles can be produced by a wide variety of microorganisms through reducing selenite/selenate to elemental selenium (Mishra et al 2011;Wang et al 2010;Dhanjal and Cameotra 2010). Compared with intracellular selenium nanoparticles synthesized by microorganisms, extracellular selenium nanoparticles have the advantage in the recovery of the nanoparticles from a culture.…”

Nano-selenium/protein is a kind of lower toxic supplement to human. Many microorganisms can reduce selenite/selenate to intracellular or extracellular selenium nanoparticles. This study examined the influence of dissolved oxygen on the expulsion of extracellular selenium/ protein produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. More of the added selenite was reduced to extracellular selenium nanoparticles by yeast cells only under oxygen-limited condition than under aerobic or anaerobic condition. For the first time, we evidenced that selenium/protein nanoparticles synthesized in vivo were transported out of the cells by vesicle-like structures under microaerophilic environment. The characterizations of the extracellular spherical selenium/protein nanoparticles were also examined by SEM, TEM, EDX and FTIR.
