Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) resist sodium selenite of concentrations greater than 100 mg/L in fermentation media. Selenium affects the growth rate, but once the microorganism absorbs selenium, this element is converted through a complex mechanism into selenocysteine and then into a selenoprotein stru...
