Uptake the sulfate abc transporter complex encoded by
After uptake, selenium oxyanions, in microbesmay undergo reduction assimilatory reduction, dissimilatory reduction or cytoplasmicreduction which is associated withdetoxification of these oxyanions. Assimilatoryreduction is the uptake and reduction of Se oxyanions by both aerobes and anaerobesfor the synthesis of Se containing amino acids namely, selenocysteine and selenomethionine.
