| Description |
This bacterial isolate has the potential to be used as a bionanofactory for the synthesis of stable, nearly monodisperse Se 0 nanoparticles as well as for detoxification of the toxic selenite anions in the environment. A hypothetical mechanism for the biogenesis of selenium nanoparticles (SNs) involving membrane associated reductase enzyme(s) that reduces selenite (SeO3(2-)) to Se 0 through electron shuttle enzymatic metal reduction process has been proposed.
