Soil bacterial strains have been demonstrated to be capable of detoxifying the highly bioavailable selenium oxyanion selenite (Se IV) by reducing it under aerobic conditions to the non toxic form elemental selenium. The perspective of a possible exploitation of these bacterial isolates for bioremediation purposes is here discussed.

Abstract
Soil bacterial strains have been demonstrated to be capable of detoxifying the highly bioavailable selenium oxyanion selenite (Se IV) by reducing it under aerobic conditions to the non toxic form elemental selenium. The perspective of a possible exploitation of these bacterial isolates for bioremediation purposes is here discussed.
