Selenium-enriched yeast, a selenium supplement, improves the rheological properties and processability of dough: From the view of yeast metabolism and gluten alteration. Food Chem 2024; 458:140256.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect mechanism of selenium (Se)-enriched yeast on the rheological properties of dough from the perspective of yeast metabolism and gluten alteration. As the yeast Se content increased, the gas production rate of Se-enriched yeast slowed down, and dough viscoelasticity decreased. The maximum creep of Se-enriched dough increased by 29%, while the final creep increased by 54%, resulting in a softer dough. Non-targeted metabolomics analyses showed that Se inhibited yeast energy metabolism and promoted the synthesis of stress-resistance related components. Glutathione, glycerol, and linoleic acid contributed to the rheological property changes of the dough. The fractions and molecular weight distribution of protein demonstrated that the increase in yeast Se content resulted in the depolymerization of gluten. The intermolecular interactions, fluorescence spectrum and disulfide bond analysis showed that the disruption of intermolecular disulfide bond induced by Se-enriched yeast metabolites played an important role in the depolymerization of gluten.

Wang K, Zhang R, Hu W, Dang Y, Huang M, Wang N, Du S, Gao X. Effect of exogenous selenium on physicochemical, structural, functional, thermal, and gel rheological properties of mung bean (Vigna radiate L.) protein. Food Res Int 2024; 191:114706. [PMID: 39059959 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Selenium (Se) biofortification during the growth process of mung bean is an effective method to improve the Se content and quality. However, the effect of Se biofortification on the physicochemical properties of mung bean protein is unclear. The objective of this study was to clarify the changes in the composition, Se forms, particle structure, functional properties, thermal stability, and gel properties of mung bean protein at four Se application levels. The results showed that the Se content of mung bean protein increased in a dose-dependent manner, with 7.96-fold (P1) and 8.52-fold (P2) enhancement at the highest concentration. Exogenous Se application promotes the conversion of inorganic Se to organic Se. Among them, selenomethionine (SeMet) and methyl selenocysteine (MeSeCys) replaced Met and Cys through the S metabolic pathway and became the dominant organic Se forms in Se-enriched mung bean protein, accounting for more than 80 % of the total Se content. Exogenous Se at 30 g/hm2 significantly up-regulated protein content and promoted the synthesis of sulfur-containing protein components and hydrophobic amino acids in the presence of increased levels of SeMet and MeSeCys. Meanwhile, Cys and Met substitution altered the sulfhydryl groups (SH), β-sheets, and β-turns of protein. The particle size and microstructural characteristics depend on the protein itself and were not affected by exogenous Se. The Se-induced increase in the content of hydrophobic amino acids and β-sheets synergistically increases the thermal stability of the protein. Moderate Se application altered the functional properties of mung bean protein, which was mainly reflected in the significant increase in oil holding capacity (OHC) and foaming capacity (FC). In addition, the increase in SH and β-sheets induced by exogenous Se could alter the protein intermolecular network, contributing to the increase in storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G″), which resulted in the formation of more highly elastic gels. This study further promotes the application of mung bean protein in the field of food processing and provides a theoretical basis for the extensive development of Se-enriched mung bean protein.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:118874. [PMID: 38579995 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
3-Methylindole (Skatole), a degradation product of tryptophan produced by intestinal microbial activity, significantly contributes to odor nuisance. Its adverse effects on animal welfare, human health, and environmental pollution have been noted. However, it is still unclear whether the intestinal microbiota mediates the impact of selenium (Se) on skatole production and what the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. A selenized glucose (SeGlu) derivative is a novel organic selenium compound. In this study, a diverse range of dietary SeGlu-treated levels, including SeGlu-deficient (CK), SeGlu-adequate (0.15 mg Se per L), and SeGlu-supranutritional (0.4 mg Se per L) conditions, were used to investigate the complex interaction of SeGlu on intestinal microbiome and serum metabolome changes in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The study showed that SeGlu supplementation enhanced the antioxidant ability in rats, significantly manifested in the increases of the activity of catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), while no change in the level of malonaldehyde (MDA). Metagenomic sequencing analysis verified that the SeGlu treatment group significantly increased the abundance of beneficial microorganisms such as Clostridium, Ruminococcus, Faecalibacterium, Lactobacillus, and Alloprevotella while reducing the abundance of opportunistic pathogens such as Bacteroides and Alistipes significantly. Further metabolomic analysis revealed phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis changes in the SeGlu treatment group. Notably, the biosynthesis of indole, a critical pathway, was affected by SeGlu treatment, with several crucial enzymes implicated. Correlation analysis demonstrated strong associations between specific bacterial species - Treponema, Bacteroides, and Ruminococcus, and changes in indole and derivative concentrations. Moreover, the efficacy of SeGlu-treated fecal microbiota was confirmed through fecal microbiota transplantation, leading to a decrease in the concentration of skatole in rats. Collectively, the analysis of microbiota and metabolome response to diverse SeGlu levels suggests that SeGlu is a promising dietary additive in modulating intestinal microbiota and reducing odor nuisance in the livestock and poultry industry.

Abstract
It is known that selenium (Se) is an essential trace element, important for the growth and other biological functions of fish. One of its most important functions is to contribute to the preservation of certain biological components, such as DNA, proteins, and lipids, providing protection against free radicals resulting from normal metabolism. The objective of this study was to evaluate and optimize selenium accumulation in the native yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa 6S. Sodium selenite was evaluated at different concentrations (5-10-15-20-30-40 mg/L). Similarly, the effects of different concentrations of nitrogen sources and pH on cell growth and selenium accumulation in the yeast were analyzed. Subsequently, the best cultivation conditions were scaled up to a 2 L reactor with constant aeration, and the proteome of the yeast cultured with and without sodium selenite was evaluated. The optimal conditions for biomass generation and selenium accumulation were found with ammonium chloride and pH 5.5. Incorporating sodium selenite (30 mg/L) during the exponential phase in the bioreactor after 72 h of cultivation resulted in 10 g/L of biomass, with 0.25 mg total Se/g biomass, composed of 25% proteins, 15% lipids, and 0.850 mg total carotenoids/g biomass. The analysis of the proteomes associated with yeast cultivation with and without selenium revealed a total of 1871 proteins. The results obtained showed that the dynamic changes in the proteome, in response to selenium in the experimental medium, are directly related to catalytic activity and oxidoreductase activity in the yeast. R. mucilaginosa 6S could be an alternative for the generation of selenium-rich biomass with a composition of other nutritional compounds also of interest in aquaculture, such as proteins, lipids, and pigments.

Multi-pathways-mediated mechanisms of selenite reduction and elemental selenium nanoparticles biogenesis in the yeast-like fungus Aureobasidium melanogenum I15. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134204.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) plays a critical role in diverse biological processes and is widely used across manufacturing industries. However, the contamination of Se oxyanions also poses a major public health concern. Microbial transformation is a promising approach to detoxify Se oxyanions and produce elemental selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) with versatile industrial potential. Yeast-like fungi are an important group of environmental microorganisms, but their mechanisms for Se oxyanions reduction remain unknown. In this study, we found that Aureobasidium melanogenum I15 can reduce 1.0 mM selenite by over 90% within 48 h and efficiently form intracellular or extracellular spherical SeNPs. Metabolomic and proteomic analyses disclosed that A. melanogenum I15 evolves a complicated selenite reduction mechanism involving multiple metabolic pathways, including the glutathione/glutathione reductase pathway, the thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase pathway, the siderophore-mediated pathway, and multiple oxidoreductase-mediated pathways. This study provides the first report on the mechanism of selenite reduction and SeNPs biogenesis in yeast-like fungi and paves an alternative avenue for the bioremediation of selenite contamination and the production of functional organic selenium compounds.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient known for its essential role in human health and plant metabolism. Waxy maize (Zea mays L. sinensis kulesh)-known for its high nutritional quality and distinctive flavor-holds significant consumer appeal. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effects of foliar Se spraying on the nutritional quality of waxy maize grains, with a focus on identifying varietal differences and determining optimal Se dosage levels for maximizing nutritional benefits. We employed a two-factor split-plot design to assess the nutritional quality, trace elements, and pigment content of jinnuo20 (J20) and caitiannuo1965 (C1965) at the milk stage after being subjected to varying Se doses sprayed on five leaves. Our findings indicate superior nutrient content in J20 compared to C1965, with both varieties exhibiting optimal quality under Se3 treatment, falling within the safe range of Se-enriched agricultural products. JS3 (0.793) demonstrated the highest overall quality, followed by JS2 (0.606), JS4 (0.411), and JS1 (0.265), while CS0 had the lowest (-0.894). These results underscore the potential of foliar biofortification to enhance the functional component contents of waxy maize grains.

Abstract
The selenization of natural products refers to the chemical modification method of artificially introducing selenium atoms into natural products to interact with the functional groups in the target molecule to form selenides. Nowadays, even though scientists in fields involving organic selenium compounds have achieved numerous results due to their continuous investment, few comprehensive and systematic summaries relating to their research results can be found. The present paper summarizes the selenization modification methods of several kinds of important natural products, such as polysaccharides, proteins/polypeptides, polyphenols, lipids, and cyclic compounds, as well as the basic principles or mechanisms of the selenizing methods. On this basis, this paper explored the future development trend of the research field relating to selenized natural products, and it is hoped to provide some suggestions for directional selenization modification and the application of natural active ingredients.

Abstract
Mushrooms may incorporate significant levels of Hg making its consumption harmful to human health. Mercury remediation induced by Se competition in edible mushrooms represents a valuable alternative since Se plays effective roles against Hg uptake, accumulation, and toxicity. In this way, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus djamor were cultivated on Hg-contaminated substrate simultaneously supplemented with Se(IV) or Se(VI) under different dosages in this study. The protective role of Se was assessed taking into account morphological characteristics and Hg and Se total concentrations determined by ICP-MS, as well as proteins and protein-bound Hg and Se distribution by SEC-UV-ICP-MS, and Hg speciation studies (Hg(II) and MeHg) by HPLC-ICP-MS. Both Se(IV) and Se(VI) supplementation were able to recover the morphology mainly of Hg-contaminated Pleurotus ostreatus. The mitigation effects induced by Se(IV) stood out more than Se(VI) in terms of Hg incorporation, decreasing the total Hg concentration up to 96 %. Also, it was found that supplementation mainly with Se(IV) reduced the fraction of Hg bound to medium molecular weight compounds (17-44 kDa) up to 80 %. Finally, it was shown a Se-induced inhibitory effect on Hg methylation, decreasing MeHg species content in mushrooms exposed to Se(IV) (51.2 µg g-1) up to 100 %.

Status of estrogen receptor expression and epigenetic methylation in Leydig cells after exposure to metalloestrogen - selenium. Reprod Toxicol 2023; 118:108389. [PMID: 37142062 DOI: 10.1016/j.reprotox.2023.108389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
The trace element selenium (Se) is essential for the maintenance of spermatogenesis and fertility. A growing volume of evidence shows that Se is necessary for testosterone synthesis, and Se can stimulate Leydig cell proliferation. However, Se can also act as a metalloestrogen, which can mimic estrogen and activate the estrogen receptors. This study aimed to investigate Se effect on estrogen signaling and the epigenetic status of Leydig cells. Mouse Leydig cells (MA-10) were cultured in a medium supplemented with different Se concentrations (4, 8µM) for 24hours. Next, cells were assessed for morphological and molecular (qRT PCR, western blot, immunofluorescence) analyses. Immunofluorescence revealed strong immunosignal for 5-methylcytosine in both control and treated cells, with a stronger signal in the 8μM treated group. qRT-PCR confirmed an increased expression of methyltransferase 3β (Dnmt3b) in 8μM cells. Analysis of the expression of γH2AX (a marker for double-stranded DNA breaks) revealed an increase in the DNA breaks in cells exposed to 8μM Se. Selenium exposure did not affect the expression of canonical estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ), however, an increase in membrane estrogen receptor G-protein coupled (GPER) protein expression was observed. To sum up, in a high concentration (8μM) Se affects GPER expression (non-genomic estrogen signaling) in Leydig cells possibly via acting on receptor protein and/or its binding. This causes DNA breaks and induces changes in Leydig cell methylation status, especially in de novo methylation which is mediated by Dnmt3b.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 862:160635.

Abstract
Selenate (Se(VI)) is one of the most soluble and toxic species of Se. Microbial Se(VI) reduction is an efficient tool for bioremediation strategies. However, this process is limited to a few microorganisms, and its molecular basis remains unknown. We present detailed Se(VI)-resistance mechanisms under 50 and 200 mM, in Stenotrophomonas bentonitica BII-R7, coupling enzymatic reduction of Se(VI) to formation of less toxic trigonal Se (t-Se). The results reveal a concentration-dependent response. Despite the lack of evidence of Se(VI)-reduction to Se(0) under 50 mM Se(VI), many genes were highly induced, indicating that Se(VI)-resistance could be based on intracellular reduction to Se(IV), mainly through molybdenum-dependent enzymes (e.g. respiratory nitrate reductase), and antioxidant activity by enzymes like glutathione peroxidase. Although exposure to 200 mM provoked a sharp drop in gene expression, a time-dependent process of reduction and formation of amorphous (a), monoclinic (m) and t-Se nanostructures was unravelled: a-Se nanospheres were initially synthesized intracellularly, which would transform into m-Se and finally into t-Se nanostructures during the following phases. This is the first work describing an intracellular Se(VI) reduction and biotransformation process to long-term stable and insoluble t-Se nanomaterials. These results expand the fundamental understanding of Se biogeochemical cycling, and the effectiveness of BII-R7 for bioremediation purposes.

Abstract
The rapid spread of new pathogens (SARS-CoV-2 virus) that negatively affect the human body has huge consequences for the global public health system and the development of the global economy. Appropriate implementation of new safety regulations will improve the functioning of the current model supervising the inhibition of the spread of COVID-19 disease. Compliance with all these standards will have a key impact on the health behavior of individual social groups. There have been demonstrably effective treatments that proved to be effective but were rapidly dismissed for unknown reasons, such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Various measures are used in the world to help inhibit its development. The properties of this element provide hope in preventing the development of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The aim of this review is to synthesize the latest literature data and to present the effect of sodium selenite in reducing the incidence of COVID-19 disease.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient with many beneficial effects for humans and other living organisms. Numerous microorganisms in culture systems enrich and convert inorganic selenium to organic selenium. In this study, Epichloë sp. from Festuca sinensis was exposed to increasing Na2SeO3 concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 mmol/L) in Petri dishes with potato dextrose agar (PDA) for 8 weeks. Epichloë sp. mycelia were immediately collected after mycelial diameters were measured at 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 weeks of cultivation, respectively. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) analysis was performed on different groups of Epichloë sp. mycelia. Different changes were observed as Epichloë sp. was exposed to different selenite conditions and cultivation time. The colony diameter of Epichloë sp. decreased in response to increased selenite concentrations, whereas the inhibitory effects diminished over time. Seventy-two of the 203 identified metabolites did not differ significantly across selenite treatments within the same time point, while 82 compounds did not differ significantly between multiple time points of the same Se concentration. However, the relative levels of 122 metabolites increased the most under selenite conditions. Specifically, between the 4th and 8th weeks, there were increases in 2-keto-isovaleric acid, uridine, and maltose in selenite treatments compared to controls. Selenium increased glutathione levels and exhibited antioxidant properties in weeks 4, 5, and 7. Additionally, we observed that different doses of selenite could promote the production of carbohydrates such as isomaltose, cellobiose, and sucrose; fatty acids such as palmitoleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid; and amino acids such as lysine and tyrosine in Epichloë sp. mycelia. Therefore, Epichloë sp. exposed to selenite stress may benefit from increased levels of some metabolite compounds.

Abstract
Due to the recent increase in the human population and the associated shortage of protein resources, it is necessary to find new, sustainable, and natural protein resources from invertebrates (such as insects) and underutilized plants. In most cases, compared to plants (e.g., grains and legumes) and animals (e.g., fish, beef, chicken, lamb, and pork), insect proteins are high in quality in terms of their nutritional value, total protein content, and essential amino acid composition. This review evaluates the recent state of insects as an alternative protein source from production to application; more specifically, it introduces in detail the latest advances in the protein extraction process. As an alternative source of protein in food formulations, the functional characteristics of edible insect protein are comprehensively presented, and the risk of allergy associated with insect protein is also discussed. The biological activity of protein hydrolyzates from different species of insects (Bombyx mori, Hermetia illucens, Acheta domesticus, Tenebrio molitor) are also reviewed, and the hydrolysates (bioactive peptides) are found to have either antihypertensive, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial activity. Finally, the use of edible insect protein in various food applications is presented.

Abstract
Fungal promoted infections are becoming a severe health global emergency due to drug-resistant phenomena and zoonosis. This work investigated compounds bearing acyl-/selenoureido moieties and primary/secondary sulfonamide groups as novel antifungal agents acting through organism-directed selenium toxicity and inhibition of the newly emergent therapeutic target, the Carbonic Anhydrases (CAs; EC 4.2.1.1). Reported data clearly indicate that seleno-containing scaffolds with respect to the standard-of-care drugs showed appreciable antifungal activity, which was suppressed when the chalcogen was replaced with its cognate isosteric elements sulfur and oxygen. In addition, such compounds showed excellent selectivity against Malassezia pachydermatis over its related genus strains Malassezia furfur and Malassezia globosa. Safe cytotoxicity profiles on bovine kidney cells (MDBK) and human HaCat cells, as well as the shallow hemolytic activity on defibrinated sheep blood, allowed us to consider these compounds as up-and-coming novel antifungals.

Abstract
The Procapra przewalskii inhabits in a selenium (Se)-deprived environment in long-term, but they have no pathological manifestations due to the Se deprivation. This study aimed to reveal the underlying adaptation induced by Se deprivation. In the analysis, a total of 93 significantly changed metabolites were identified in positive and negative ion modes, including 46 upregulated and 47 downregulated compounds in the Se-deprived group. The differential metabolites were annotated as the major molecules in bile acid biosynthesis, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, and pyrimidine metabolism, respectively. This study systematically analyzed the serum metabolomics characteristics of P. przewalskii under Se-deprived conditions for the first time, providing a basis for further understanding of the metabolic mechanism of P. przewalskii in the Se-deprived environment.

Abstract
Obesity is a serious health problem in modern life and increases the risk of many comorbidities including iron dyshomeostasis. In contrast to malnourished anemia, obesity-related iron dyshomeostasis is mainly caused by excessive fat accumulation, inflammation, and disordered gut microbiota. In obesity, iron dyshomeostasis also induces disorders associated with gut microbiota, neurodegenerative injury, oxidative damage, and fat accumulation in the liver. Selenium deficiency is often accompanied by obesity or iron deficiency, and selenium supplementation has been shown to alleviate obesity and overcome iron deficiency. Selenium inhibits fat accumulation and exhibits anti-inflammatory activity. It regulates gut microbiota, prevents neurodegenerative injury, alleviates oxidative damage to the body, and ameliorates hepatic fat accumulation. These effects theoretically meet the requirements for the inhibition of factors underlying obesity-related iron dyshomeostasis. Selenium supplementation may have a potential role in the alleviation of obesity-related iron dyshomeostasis. This review verifies this hypothesis in theory. All the currently reported causes and results of obesity-related iron dyshomeostasis are reviewed comprehensively, together with the effects of selenium. The challenges and strategies of selenium supplementation are also discussed. The findings demonstrate the possibility of selenium-containing drugs or functional foods in alleviating obesity-related iron dyshomeostasis.

Abstract
Bioremediation, which has several advantages over traditional methods, represents an alternative means of dealing with heavy metal pollution. We screened for microorganisms showing heavy metal tolerance in polluted mangrove soils. A novel yeast, Geotrichum sp. CS-67, was discovered and tested for tolerance of Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+. Zn2+ was the most efficiently sequestered by Geotrichum sp. CS-67 followed by Ni2+ and Cu2+. Zn2+ and Ni2+ were actively taken up into the cell, while Cu2+ was adsorbed to the cell wall. We used RNA-Seq to show that a large number of genes involved in the physiological and biochemical processing of heavy metals were differentially expressed in this yeast when it was subjected to Zn2+ and Ni2+ stress. From this panel, we selected the SED1, GDI1 and ZRT1 genes for validation by qRT-PCR and discovered that, during Zn2+ and Ni2+ stress, SED1 and GDI1 were upregulated, while ZRT1 was downregulated, which was consistent with the RNA-Seq results and the biochemical function of these genes. In conclusion, the novel yeast Geotrichum sp. CS-67 has a marked ability to accumulate heavy metal ions, making it of great interest as a possible microbial agent for heavy metal pollution remediation in the future.

Abstract
Microbial fermentation offers a sustainable source of fuels, commodity chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, yet strain performance is influenced greatly by the growth media selected. Specifically, trace metals (e.g., iron, copper, manganese, zinc, and others) are critical for proper growth and enzymatic function within microorganisms yet are non-standardized across media formulation. In this work, the effect of trace metal supplementation on the lipid production profile of Yarrowia lipolytica was explored using tube scale fermentation followed by biomass and lipid characterization. Addition of iron (II) to the chemically defined Yeast Synthetic Complete (YSC) medium increased final optical density nearly twofold and lipid production threefold, while addition of copper (II) had no impact. Additionally, dose-responsive changes in lipid distribution were observed, with the percent of oleic acid increasing and stearic acid decreasing as initial iron concentration increased. These changes were reversible with subsequent iron-selective chelation. Use of rich Yeast Peptone Dextrose (YPD) medium enabled further increases in the production of two specialty oleochemicals ultimately reaching 63 and 47% of the lipid pool as α-linolenic acid and cyclopropane fatty acid, respectively, compared to YSC medium. Selective removal of iron (II) natively present in YPD medium decreased this oleochemical production, ultimately aligning the lipid profile with that of non-supplemented YSC medium. These results provide further insight into the proposed mechanisms for iron regulation in yeasts especially as these productions strains contain a mutant allele of the iron regulator, mga2. The work presented here also suggests a non-genetic method for control of the lipid profile in Y. lipolytica for use in diverse applications. KEY POINTS: • Iron supplementation increases cell density and lipid titer in Yarrowia lipolytica. • Iron addition reversibly alters lipid portfolio increasing linolenic acid. • Removal of iron from YPD media provides a link to enhanced oleochemical production.

Abstract
In recent years, the awareness and willingness of consumers to consume healthy food has grown significantly. In order to meet these needs, scientists are looking for innovative methods of food production, which is a source of easily digestible protein with a balanced amino acid composition. Yeast protein biomass (single cell protein, SCP) is a bioavailable product which is obtained when primarily using as a culture medium inexpensive various waste substrates including agricultural and industrial wastes. With the growing population, yeast protein seems to be an attractive alternative to traditional protein sources such as plants and meat. Moreover, yeast protein biomass also contains trace minerals and vitamins including B-group. Thus, using yeast in the production of protein provides both valuable nutrients and enhances purification of wastes. In conclusion, nutritional yeast protein biomass may be the best option for human and animal nutrition with a low environmental footprint. The rapidly evolving SCP production technology and discoveries from the world of biotechnology can make a huge difference in the future for the key improvement of hunger problems and the possibility of improving world food security. On the market of growing demand for cheap and environmentally clean SCP protein with practically unlimited scale of production, it may soon become one of the ingredients of our food. The review article presents the possibilities of protein production by yeast groups with the use of various substrates as well as the safety of yeast protein used as food.

Abstract
Formic acid is a representative small molecule acid in lignocellulosic hydrolysate that can inhibit the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells during alcohol fermentation. However, the mechanism of formic acid cytotoxicity remains largely unknown. In this study, RNA-Seq technology was used to study the response of S. cerevisiae to formic acid stress at the transcriptional level. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were conducted to observe the surface morphology of yeast cells. A total of 1504 genes were identified as being differentially expressed, with 797 upregulated and 707 downregulated genes. Transcriptomic analysis showed that most genes related to glycolysis, glycogen synthesis, protein degradation, the cell cycle, the MAPK signaling pathway, and redox regulation were significantly induced under formic acid stress and were involved in protein translation and synthesis amino acid synthesis genes were significantly suppressed. Formic acid stress can induce oxidative stress, inhibit protein biosynthesis, cause cells to undergo autophagy, and activate the intracellular metabolic pathways of energy production. The increase of glycogen and the decrease of energy consumption metabolism may be important in the adaptation of S. cerevisiae to formic acid. In addition, formic acid can also induce sexual reproduction and spore formation. This study through transcriptome analysis has preliminarily reveal the molecular response mechanism of S. cerevisiae to formic acid stress and has provided a basis for further research on methods used to improve the tolerance to cell inhibitors in lignocellulose hydrolysate.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal mainly originating from industrial activities and causes environmental pollution. To better understand its toxicity and pollution remediation, we must understand the effects of Cd on living beings. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) is an eukaryotic unicellular model organism. It has provided much scientific knowledge about cellular and molecular biology in addition to its economic benefits. Effects associated with copper and zinc, sulfur and selenium metabolism, calcium (Ca2+) balance/signaling, and structure of phospholipids as a result of exposure to cadmium have been evaluated. In yeast as a result of cadmium stress, "mitogen-activated protein kinase," "high osmolarity glycerol," and "cell wall integrity" pathways have been reported to activate different signaling pathways. In addition, abnormalities and changes in protein structure, ribosomes, cell cycle disruption, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) following cadmium cytotoxicity have also been detailed. Moreover, the key OLE1 gene that encodes for delta-9 FA desaturase in relation to cadmium toxicity has been discussed in more detail. Keeping all these studies in mind, an attempt has been made to evaluate published cellular and molecular toxicity data related to Cd stress, and specifically published on S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
The present research describes yeast assisted algal flocculation followed by evaluation of algae-yeast flocs for nutritional profile as potent food product. Co-flocculation of Chlorella pyrenoidosa using Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed 58.33 ± 2.37% flocculation efficiency. Nutrient composition of algae-yeast flocs (CP-Y) depicted higher protein content (35.52%) as compared to algae (23.72%) and yeast biomass (33.89). Amino acid profiles of CP-Y biomass depicted increase in essential amino acid content with higher ratio of essential to non-essential amino acid (0.68) as compared to Y (0.57) and CP (0.57) biomass. Lipid and carbohydrate content of CP-Y flocs was estimated as 26.95 ± 0.57% and 21.12 ± 0.83%, respectively. Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) analysis showed presence of omega rich polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) like α-linolenic acid (ω-3), Linoleic acid (ω-6), Palmitoleic acid (ω-7) etc in CP-Y biomass. The study provides novel insights on nutrition enriched biomass obtained after algal-yeast flocculation, which can be a better alternative to existing flocculation methods for food applications.

Abstract
This study assessed the selenium (Se) removal efficiency of two pilot-scale high-rate algae ponds (HRAPs) treating domestic wastewater and investigated the production of Se-enriched microalgae as potential feed supplement. The HRAP-Se had an average Se, NH4+-N, total phosphorus and COD removal efficiency of, respectively, 43%, 93%, 77%, and 70%. Inorganic Se taken up by the microalgae was mainly (91%) transformed to selenoamino acids, and 49-63% of Se in the Se-enriched microalgae was bioaccessible for animals. The crude protein content (48%) of the microalgae was higher than that of soybeans, whereas the essential amino acid content was comparable. Selenium may induce the production of the polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 in microalgae. Overall, the production of Se-enriched microalgae in HRAPs may offer a promising alternative for upgrading low-value resources into high-value feed supplements, supporting the drive to a circular economy.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) has been confirmed as an environmental contaminant, which potential threats health impacts to humans and animals. Selenium (Se) as a beneficial element that alleviates the negative effects of Cd toxicity. Se mainly exists in two forms in food nutrients including organic Se usually as (Se-enriched yeast (SeY)) and inorganic Se (sodium selenite (SSe)). Nanoparticle of Se (Nano-Se), a new form Se, which is synthesized by the bioreduction of Se species, which attracted significant attention recently. However, compared the superiority alleviation effects of Nano-Se, SeY or SSe on Cd-induced toxicity and related mechanisms are still poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to compare the superiority antagonism effects of Nano-Se, SeY and SSe on Cd-induced inflammation response via NF-kB/IκB pathway in the heart. The present study demonstrated that exposed to Cd obviously increased the accumulation of Cd, disruption of ion homeostasis and depressed the ratios of K+/Na+ and Mg2+/Ca2+ via ion chromatography mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detecting the heart specimens. In the results of histological and ultrastructure observation, typical inflammatory infiltrate characteristics and mitochondria and nuclear structure alterations in the hearts of Cd group were confirmed. Cd treatment enhanced the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activities and NOS isoforms expression via NF-kB/IκB pathway to promote inflammation response. However, the combined treatment of Cd-exposed animals with Nano-Se was more effective than SeY and SSe in reversing Cd-induced histopathological changes and iNOS activities increased, reducing Cd accumulation and antagonizing Cd-triggered inflammation response via NF-kB/IκB pathway in chicken hearts. Overall, Se applications, especially Nano-Se, can be most efficiently used for relieving cardiotoxicity by exposed to Cd compared to other Se compound.

Abstract
Nowadays, there is an increase attention on the effect of selenium (Se) on metabolic processes of microorganisms. Strains belonging to the genus of Yarrowia are of great biotechnological interest for various industries. In this study, we evaluated the effect of 10 mg/L of Se on the growth and lipid production of two Yarrowia lipolytica strains: the ACA DC 50109 and one more with increased oleagenicity, derived after ALE methodology (referred here as Y. lipolytica ALE_70). The presence of Se in the growth medium negatively affected both cell mass production and total lipid accumulation, for both Y. lipolytica strains. Fractionation of total lipids showed an inhibition on neutral lipid (NL) synthesis and consequently, an increase of polar lipids (glycolipids plus sphingolipids, and phospholipids) on the lipids of the Se-enriched ACA DC 50109 strain; however, the NL/polar ratio of the Se-enriched ALE_70 indicated that Se, apart from the inhibition of NL synthesis, provoked also the accumulation of polar lipids in this strain. In addition, the fatty acid (FA) composition was differently affected by Se. Se-enriched total lipids of the ALE_70 strain were enriched in linoleic acid (C18:2 n-6), which resulted in increase of the unsaturated index. On the other hand, Se-enriched lipids of the ACA DC 50109 strain were more saturated, as the percentage of palmitic (C16:0) and stearic (C18:0) acids increased in the total FAs. Moreover, it seems that Se influenced the activity or the expression of desaturases and elongase in both strains. Finally, the supplementation of growth medium with Se affected cell morphology, as well as the size and distribution of lipid droplets inside the yeast cells. According to our opinion, Se caused stress conditions and the consequence of that was the occurrence of metabolic disorders that affected cell mass, lipid content, and/or morphological structures. The results of the present study suggest that further research should be carried out to understand the background of the lipogenesis process in yeast cells cultured under stress conditions.

Abstract
Selenium is an essential microelement required for biological processes. Traditional selenium supplements (selenite and selenomethionine mainly) remain concerns due to toxicity and bioavailability. In recent decades, biofortification strategies have been applied to produce selenium-enriched edible plants to address the challenges of superior nutritional quality requirements. Plant-derived selenium-containing proteins/peptides offer potential health benefits beyond the basic nutritional requirements of Se. Highly nucleophilic seleno-amino acids, special peptide sequences, and favorable bioavailability contribute to the biological activities of selenium-containing proteins/peptides, such as antioxidant, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. However, their applications on a commercial scale are insufficient owing to the complexity of purification and identification techniques and the sparse information on bioavailability and metabolism. In this review, selenium status, structural features, bioactivities, structure-activity relationships, and bioavailability, as well as the mechanisms underlying the bioactivities and metabolism of plant-derived selenium-containing proteins/peptides, are summarized and discussed for their nutraceutical use.

Abstract
The production of biomolecules using agro-industrial by-products as feedstock is a growing trend worldwide. Selenium (Se) is a trace element essential for health, and the Se-enrichment of yeast biomass can enhance its benefits. This study investigated the feasibility of the production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Se-enriched biomass using a medium composed of corn bran and soybean bran acid hydrolysates as carbon and nitrogen sources in a stirred-tank reactor. After hydrolysis, hydrolysates presented complex composition and high concentrations of sugars, proteins, and minerals. The use of a stirred-tank bioreactor leads to the production of 9 g/L S. cerevisiae biomass enriched with 236.93 μg/g Se, and 99% cell viability. Likewise, the combination of sugarcane molasses and soybean bran hydrolysate was effective for cell growth of a probiotic strain of S. cerevisiae with a 24.08% β-glucan content. The results demonstrated that starchy acid hydrolysates are low-cost and efficient substrates for the production of yeast biomass and derivate products and may contribute to further studies for a sustainable development of biorefinery technologies.

Abstract
Flammulina velutipes is one of the most popular edible mushrooms worldwide. A selenium-biofortification method for its fruiting body was developed using selenite. This study investigated the selenium content, distribution, speciation and the effect of selenium on mushroom growth, nutritive value, and mineral accumulation. Results showed that F. velutipes accumulated nearly 108 μg/g of organic selenium under treatment with 20 μg/g selenite, which accounts for over 97% of total selenium. Most (60-74%) of selenium combined with the protein fraction, whereas 15-21% combined with the polysaccharide fraction. Selenomethionine (56.8%), selenocysteine (22.8%), and methylselenocysteine (17.3%) were the main organic selenium compounds in the fruiting body. Selenium biofortification increased the biomass yield of fruiting body and elevated the content of polysaccharides, proteins, total amino acids, essential amino acids, and several minerals, including iron, calcium, and copper. F. velutipes might become a suitable selenium supplement.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential element for most organisms yet can cause severe negative biological consequences at elevated levels. The oxidized forms of Se, selenate [Se(VI)] and selenite [Se(IV)], are more mobile, toxic, and bioavailable than the reduced forms of Se such as volatile or solid phases. Thus, selenate and selenite pose a greater threat to ecosystems and human health. As current Se remediation technologies have varying efficiencies and costs, novel strategies to remove elevated Se levels from environments impacted by anthropogenic activities are desirable. Some common soil fungi quickly remove Se (IV and VI) from solution by aerobic reduction to solid or volatile forms. Here, we perform bench-scale culture experiments of two Se-reducing Ascomycota to determine their Se removal capacity in growth media conditions containing either Se(IV) or Se(VI) as well as in Se-containing municipal (∼25 μg/L Se) and industrial (∼2000 μg/L Se) wastewaters. Dissolved Se was measured throughout the experiments to assess Se concentration and removal rates. Additionally, solid-associated Se was quantified at the end of each experiment to determine the amount of Se removed to solid phases (e.g., Se(0) nanoparticles, biomass-adsorbed Se, or internal organic selenoproteins). Results show that under optimal conditions, fungi more efficiently remove Se(IV) from solution compared to Se(VI). Additionally, both fungi remove a higher percentage of Se from the filtered municipal wastewater compared to the industrial wastewater, though cultures in industrial wastewater retained a greater amount of solid-associated Se. Additional wastewater experiments were conducted with supplemental carbohydrate- or glycerin-based carbon products and additional nitrogen- and phosphorous-containing nutrients in some cases to enhance fungal growth. Relative to unamended wastewater experiments, supplemental carbohydrates promote Se removal from municipal wastewater but minimally impact industrial wastewater removal. This demonstrates that carbon availability and source impacts fungal Se reduction and removal from solution. Calculations to assess the leaching potential of solid-associated Se from fungal biomass show that wastewater Se release will not exceed regulatory limits. This study highlights the considerable potential for the mycoremediation of Se-contaminated wastewaters.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) was found to inhibit the growth of the yeast Candida utilis ATCC 9950. Cells cultured in 30 mg selenite/L supplemented medium could bind 1368 µg Se/g of dry weight in their structures. Increased accumulation of trehalose and glycogen was observed, which indicated cell response to stress conditions. The activity of antioxidative enzymes (glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, thioredoxin reductase, and glutathione S-transferase) was significantly higher than that of the control without Se addition. Most Se was bound to water-insoluble protein fraction; in addition, the yeast produced 20–30 nm Se nanoparticles (SeNPs). Part of Se was metabolized to selenomethionine (10%) and selenocysteine (20%). The HPLC-ESI-Orbitrap MS analysis showed the presence of five Se compounds combined with glutathione in the yeast. The obtained results form the basis for further research on the mechanisms of Se metabolism in yeast cells.

Abstract
Although numerous types of organisms have been used to enrich selenium, a low-cost and efficient organism is yet to be identified. This study aimed to develop a new means of selenium enrichment using Tenebrio molitor larvae. Our results indicated that the total selenium content in larvae was increased 83-fold to 54.21 ± 1.25 μg/g, and of this content, organic selenium accounted for over 97% after feeding the larvae with 20 μg/g of sodium selenite. Selenium was distributed unequally in the protein fraction with following order: alkali-soluble protein-bound selenium (36.32%) > salt-soluble protein-bound selenium (19.41%) > water-soluble protein-bound selenium (17.03%) > alcohol-soluble protein-bound selenium (3.21%). Additionally, 81% of the selenium within the soluble proteins was distributed in subunits possessing molecular weights of <40 kDa. After hydrolysis by alcalase, the protein hydrolysate of selenium-enriched larvae possessing 75% selenium recovery exhibited stronger antioxidant and immunoregulatory activities than those of regular larvae.

Abstract
Metabolomic studies are essential to identify and quantify key metabolites in biological systems. Analysis of amino acids (AA) is very important in target metabolomics studies. Chromatographic methods are used to support metabolite determinations. Therefore, this work presents analysis of 17 AA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells (a useful model in the study of cancer metabolism) exposed to sodium selenite and gamma radiation. An improved GC/MS method using propyl chloroformate/propanol as derivatizing reagent was applied to AA determinations. The method exhibited good linearity in the range of 0.08-600.00 mg L-1; limits of determination from 0.04 to 1.60 mg L-1; limits of quantification from 0.08 to 2.76 mg L-1; repeatability ranging from 1.9 to 11.4 %; and precision ranging from 2.8 to 13.8 %. The correlations between selenite/gamma radiation with AA profile was investigated to establish candidates for cancer biomarkers. The analyses of yeast cultures found high concentrations of amino acids, such as Alanine, Serine, Glutamate, and Lysine, which might be associated with the development of metabolic adaptations of cancer based on its high demand for biomass and energy, found both in this model and neoplastic cells.

Accumulation of Selenium in Candida utilis Growing in Media of Increasing Concentration of this Element. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
Selenium is considered an essential component of all living organisms. Studies on the enrichment of yeast cells with selenium, using the ability of cell biomass to bind this element, are being reported more and more. Yeast cultures were cultivated in YPD medium enriched with Na2SeO3 salts for 72 h at 28 °C on a shaker utilizing reciprocating motion. Selenium in cell biomass was determined with the use of ICP–MS. It was observed that the addition of selenium to the experimental medium (in the range of 4–100 mg/L) increased the content of this element in the yeast cell biomass. During the extension of cultivation time, the number of yeast cells and biomass yield exhibited a decreasing trend. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that yeast cells exhibited the ability to accumulate selenium in both logarithmic and stationary growth phases. The dose of 20 and 30 mg/L of selenium in the culture medium meets the expectations in terms of both the content of selenium bound to yeast cells (1944 ± 110.8 μg/g dry weight) under 48-h cultivation. The obtained results confirmed that the Candida utilis ATCC 9950 strain exhibits the ability to bind selenium, which means that the biomass of these yeasts may be used as a natural source of selenium in the diet of humans and animals.

Abstract
The use of inorganic copper in feed is hazardous. As probiotics of animals, Candida utilis can absorb copper ions and transform them to organic copper. This study aimed to domesticate the ability of C. utilis (CICC 32211) to absorb and transform copper ions. So, C. utilis (CICC 32211) was cultured in media with different concentrations of copper ions for 24, 48 and 72 h to identify the optimum copper ion concentration. C. utilis (CICC 32211) strains were domesticated for three generations, then the absorption and distribution of copper ions in the yeast cells were studied. We found that the optimum concentration of copper ions was 110 µg/mL. After 48 h, the number of yeast cells was low, but copper ion absorption efficiency was maximized (43.83%). Most of the enriched copper ions were distributed in the yeast cell wall (up to 30.58% when grown in the medium with 110 µg/mL copper ions), while the intracellular copper ion content was low (2.095%). High concentrations of copper ions affected the morphological structure, element content and distribution of yeast cells.

Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the metabolic profile of the aerobic microorganism of Endomyces magnusii with a complete respiration chain and well-developed mitochondria system during long-lasting cultivation. The yeast was grown in batches using glycerol and glucose as the sole carbon source for a week. The profile included the cellular biological and chemical parameters, which determined the redox status of the yeast cells. We studied the activities of the antioxidant systems (catalases and superoxide dismutases), glutathione system enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and reductase), aconitase, as well as the main enzymes maintaining NADPH levels in the cells (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase) during aging of Endomyces magnusii on two kinds of substrates. We also investigated the dynamics of change in oxidized and reduced glutathione, conjugated dienes, and reactive oxidative species in the cells at different growth stages, including the deep stationary stages. Our results revealed a similar trend in the changes in the activity of all the enzymes tested, which increased 2-4-fold upon aging. The yeast cytosol had a very high reduced glutathione content, 22 times than that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and remained unchanged during growth, whereas there was a 7.5-fold increase in the reduced glutathione-to-oxidized glutathione ratio. The much higher level of reactive oxidative species was observed in the cells in the late and deep stationary phases, especially in the cells using glycerol. Cell aging of the culture grown on glycerol, which promotes active oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria, facilitated the functioning of powerful antioxidant systems (catalases, superoxide dismutases, and glutathione system enzymes) induced by reactive oxidative species. Moreover, it stimulated NADPH synthesis, regulating the cytosolic reduced glutathione level, which in turn determines the redox potential of the yeast cell during the early aging process.

Abstract
Microorganisms cope with a wide range of environmental challenges using different mechanisms. Their ability to prosper at extreme ambient pH and high temperatures has been well reported, but the adaptation mechanism often remains unrevealed. In this study, we addressed the dynamics of lipid and sugar profiles upon different cultivation conditions. The results showed that the cells grown at various pH and optimal temperature contained mannitol as the major cytosol sugar alcohol. The elevated temperature of 38 °C led to a two- to three-fold increase in total cytosol sugars with concurrent substitution of mannitol for trehalose. Lipid composition in the cells at optimal temperature changed insignificantly at any pH tested. The increase in the temperature caused some drop in the storage and membrane lipid levels, remarkable changes in their composition, and the degree of unsaturated fatty acids. It was shown that the fatty acid composition of some membrane phospholipids varied considerably at changing pH and temperature values. The data showed a pivotal role and flexibility of the sugar and lipid composition of Y. lipolytica W29 in adaptation to unfavorable environmental conditions.

Abstract
The effect of sodium selenite on batch culture of Candida utilis CCTCC M 209298 was investigated. Cell growth was inhibited while glutathione biosynthesis and secretion were improved during selenium enrichment. To reveal the mechanism underlying the decrease in biomass and the increase in glutathione, both metabolic flux analysis of key intermediates involved in glutathione metabolic pathway and transcriptome analysis of C. utilis by RNA-seq were carried out for selenized cells and the control without selenium enrichment. Results indicated that sodium selenite decreased carbon fluxes towards biomass but increased fluxes towards amino acids for the biosynthesis of glutathione and related amino acids. Selenium enrichment down-regulated a large number of genes involved in cell components and the cell cycle, resulting in decreased biomass as well as increased cell permeability. Moreover, several genes associated with transportation, binding, and mitochondrial and ribosomal functions for energy metabolism and protein synthesis were up-regulated in the presence of sodium selenite. All of these results disclosed the physiological response of C. utilis to sodium selenite.

Abstract
Physarum polycephalum is a plasmodial slime mold. One of the trophic stages in the life cycle of this organism is a plasmodium. In submerged culture, plasmodia are fragmented into microplasmodia. The latter both lack cell walls and are capable of rapid growth. There has been limited information on the effects of medium composition on the growth and lipid accumulation of microplasmodia. In this study, optimization of medium components by response surface methodology showed that tryptone and yeast extract concentrations had the most significant effects on lipid and biomass production; significant synergistic interactions between glucose and tryptone concentration on these responses were also recorded. The optimal medium was composed of 20 g/L of glucose, 6.59 g/L of tryptone, and 3.0 g/L of yeast extract. This medium yielded 13.86 g/L of dry biomass and 1.97 g/L of lipids. These amounts are threefold higher than those of the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) medium. In addition, biomass and lipid production reached maximal values between only 4 and 5 days. Fatty acid compositions analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) revealed that P. polycephalum lipids consisted mainly of oleic acid (40.5%), linoleic acid (10%), and octadecynoic (15.8%). This is the first report on the fatty acid composition of P. polycephalum microplasmodia. These results suggest that the biomass of microplasmodia could be used as a source of material for direct conversion into biodiesel because of the absence of cell walls or it could also be used as a supplemental source of beneficial fatty acids for humans, albeit with some further evaluation needed.

Abstract
This research focused on obtaining eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3) (EPA+DHA) concentrates from refined commercial salmon oil (RCSO). Independent variables of the complexation process were optimized by means of the application of response surface methodology (RSM) in order to obtain the maximum content of such fatty acids (FAs). As a result of employing the optimized conditions for all the variables (6.0, urea:FA content ratio; -18.0 °C, crystallization temperature; 14.80 h, crystallization time; 500 rpm, stirring speed), high contents of EPA and DHA could be obtained from RCSO, achieving increases of 4.1 and 7.9 times in the concentrate, with values of 31.20 and 49.31 g/100 g total FA, respectively. Furthermore, a 5.8-time increase was observed for the EPA + DHA content, which increased from 13.78 to 80.51 g/100 g total FA. It is concluded that RCSO can be transformed into a profitable source of EPA and DHA (EPA+DHA), thus leading to a product with higher commercial value.

Abstract
Selenium is a micronutrient that is essential for the proper functioning of all organisms. Studies on the functions of selenium are rapidly developing. This element is a cofactor of many enzymes, for example, glutathione peroxidase or thioredoxin reductase. Insufficient supplementation of this element results in the increased risk of developing many chronic degenerative diseases. Selenium is important for the protection against oxidative stress, demonstrating the highest activity as a free radical scavenger and anti-cancer agent. In food, it is present in organic forms, as exemplified by selenomethionine and selenocysteine. In dietary supplementation, the inorganic forms of selenium (selenite and selenate) are used. Organic compounds are more easily absorbed by human organisms in comparison with inorganic compounds. Currently, selenium is considered an essential trace element of fundamental importance for human health. Extreme selenium deficiencies are widespread among people all over the world. Therefore, it is essential to supplement the deficiency of this micronutrient with selenium-enriched food or yeast cell biomass in the diet.

Abstract
Selenium exhibits health-promoting properties in humans and animals. Therefore, the development of selenium-enriched dietary supplements has been growing worldwide. However, it may also exhibit toxicity at higher concentrations, causing increased oxidative stress. Different species of yeasts may exhibit different tolerances toward selenium. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the effect of selenium on growth and on the antioxidative system in Candida utilis ATCC 9950 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC MYA-2200 yeast cells. The results of this study have demonstrated that high doses of selenium causes oxidative stress in yeasts, thereby increasing the process of lipid peroxidation. In addition, we obtained an increased level of GSSG from aqueous solutions of yeast biomass grown with selenium supplementation (40-60 mg/L). Increased levels of selenium in aqueous solutions resulted in an increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase. These results should encourage future research on the possibility of a thorough understanding of antioxidant system functioning in yeast cells.

Abstract
Selenite is extremely biotoxic, and as a result of this, exploitation of microorganisms able to reduce selenite to non-toxic elemental selenium (Se0) has attracted great interest. In this study, a bacterial strain exhibiting extreme tolerance to selenite (up to 100 mM) was isolated from the gut of adult Monochamus alternatus and identified as Proteus mirabilis YC801. This strain demonstrated efficient transformation of selenite into red selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) by reducing nearly 100% of 1.0 and 5.0 mM selenite within 42 and 48 h, respectively. Electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis demonstrated that the SeNPs were spherical and primarily localized extracellularly, with an average hydrodynamic diameter of 178.3 ± 11.5 nm. In vitro selenite reduction activity assays and real-time PCR indicated that thioredoxin reductase and similar proteins present in the cytoplasm were likely to be involved in selenite reduction, and that NADPH or NADH served as electron donors. Finally, Fourier-transform infrared spectral analysis confirmed the presence of protein and lipid residues on the surfaces of SeNPs. This is the first report on the capability of P. mirabilis to reduce selenite to SeNPs. P. mirabilis YC801 might provide an eco-friendly approach to bioremediate selenium-contaminated soil/water, as well as a bacterial catalyst for the biogenesis of SeNPs.
