Abstract excerpt
A bacterium that reduces toxic and mobile selenite to insoluble elemental selenium (Se0) was isolated from a laboratory scale permeable reactive biobarrier. Biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequence alignment identified the isolate as Aeromonas salmonicida. Two colony types were isolated, one more resistant to selenite than the other. Both grew on agar plates containing 16 mM: selenite, although the colony...
