Abstract excerpt
Dimethyl selenide (DMSe) and dimethyl diselenide (DMDSe) emissions by soil samples spiked with selenite or (methyl)selenocysteine, with or without a supplement of nutrient broth and glucose were measured. DMSe was the main form of volatile Se produced, and was observed for both Se-substrates. DMDSe was only emitted from soils spiked with (methyl)selenocysteine. Two bacterial thiopurine methyltransferases (TPMTs),...
