Conversion of inorganic and organic selenium compounds to volatile selenium compounds (dimethyl selenide, dimethyl disetenide, and an unknown compound) by microorganisms in lake sediment has been observed. This conversion could also be effected by pure cultures of bacteria and fungi. Such transformations are significant in the transportation and cycling of elements in the environment.
已观察到微生物可将无机硒和有机硒化合物转化为挥发性硒化合物(二甲基硒、二甲基二硒醚和一种未知化合物)。纯培养的细菌和真菌也可以实现这种转化。这些转化在环境中元素的迁移和循环中具有重要意义。
