To evaluate nutritional availability and chronic toxicity of KSeCN, female postweanling rats were fed casein-based diets plus 0.1, 0.5, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg Se/kg as KSeCN for 6 wk, or 0.1, 0.5 and 10 mg Se/kg as Na2SeO3. A

A Bacillus species harvested from the environment is metalloid resistant and, when grown anaerobically in complex growth medium and amended with the selenium oxyanion selenate, selenite, or selenocyanate, produces volatile organoselenium compounds in bacterial culture headspace. Two novel compounds so
