| Abstract | Environmental contamination with selenium is a major health concern. A few bacterial strains have been isolated that can transform toxic selenite to non-toxic elemental selenium only at low concentrations (0.001–150 mM) in recent past. We have previously reported isolation and characterization of few selenite-tolerant bacterial strains. These strains were found to be resistant to selenite at (300–600 mM) concentrations. In the present study we have characterized some physiological adaptations of strains Enterobacter sp. AR-4, Bacillus sp. AR-6 and Delftia tsuruhatensis AR-7 during exposure to higher concentration of selenite under aerobic and anaerobic environments. Adaptive responses are largely associated with alteration of cell morphology and change in total cellular fatty acid composition. Interestingly, electron microscopy studies revealed substantial decrease in cell size and intracellular deposition of Se0 crystals when reduction is carried out under aerobic conditions. On the other hand, cell size increased with adhesion of Se0 on cell surface during anaerobic reduction. Fatty acid composition analysis demonstrated selective increase in saturated and cyclic fatty acids and decrease in unsaturated ones during aerobic transformation. Changes observed during anaerobic transformation were in surprising contrast as indicated by total absence of saturated and cyclic fatty acids. Results presented here provide evidences for putative occurrence of two distinct mechanisms involved in tolerance towards higher concentrations of selenite utilization under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Further, prior exposure to higher concentration of Se+4 enabled rapid adaptation indicating role of inducible system in adaptation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
