Abstract:Selenium
nanoparticles (SeNPs) are important and safe food and
feed additives that can be used for dietary supplementation. In this
study, a mutagenic strain of Saccharomyces boulardii was employed to obtain biologically synthesized SeNPs (BioSeNPs)
with the desired particle size by controlling the dosage and duration
of sodium selenite addition, and the average particle size achieved
was 55.8 nm with protease A encapsulation. Transcriptomic analysis
revealed that increased expression of superoxide dismutase 1… 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.
