A simple capillary zone electrophoretic method for the determination of biospherically important oxyanions of selenium (Se) and tellurium and another Se-containing anion, selenocyanate, has been developed. The method uses direct UV absorption detection. Time course experiments with time slices as

In a previous study, selenocyanate was tentatively identified as a biotransformation product when green algae were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of selenate. In this follow-up study, we confirm conclusively the presence of selenocyanate in Chlorella vulgaris culture medium by
