The high levels of selenium (selenate, selenite) in agricultural drainage water in the San Joaquin Valley of California, which have led to environmental problems, might be lowered if the selenate/selenite could be reduced to elemental insoluble selenium. Two organisms have been newly isolated which do this in anaerobic coculture. One, a strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive rod, reduces selenite to elemental selenium. The other, a Pseudomonas species, was shown to respire selenate to selenite. Cells grown anaerobically in Minimal Medium on acetate plus selenate oxidized 14C-acetate to 14CO2 with concomitant reduction of selenate to selenite and small amounts of elemental selenium.
