Abstract

AbstractMicroorganisms can play a key role in selenium (Se) bioremediation and the fabrication of Se-based nanomaterials by reducing toxic forms (Se(VI) and Se(IV)) into Se(0). In recent years, omics have become a useful tool in understanding the metabolic pathways involved in the reduction process. This paper aims to elucidate the specific molecular mechanisms involved in Se(VI) reduction by the bacterium Stenotrophomonas bentonitica. Both cytoplasmic and membrane fractions were able to reduce Se(VI) to Se(0) nanoparticles (NPs) with different morphologies (nanospheres and nanorods) and allotropes (amorphous, monoclinic, and trigonal). Proteomic analyses indicated an adaptive response against Se(VI) through the alteration of several metabolic pathways including those related to energy acquisition, synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids, and transport systems. Whilst the thioredoxin system and the Painter reactions were identified to play a crucial role in Se reduction, flagellin may also be involved in the allotropic transformation of Se. These findings suggest a multi-modal reduction mechanism is involved, providing new insights for developing novel strategies in bioremediation and nanoparticle synthesis for the recovery of critical materials within the concept of circular economy.
