Their oxidation products include an array of arsenates, selenates, and selenites.
One species, Sulfurospirillum barnesii, can metabolize no fewer than nine types of atoms or ions other than arsenates, including sulfur, nitrates, nitrites, and selenates.
First, they demonstrated that selenium salts - both selenate and selenite - can prevent the first of several steps that can lead to cancer, whereas the grain form - selenomethionine - was ineffective.
Early studies in yeast demonstrated selenate and chromate as effective inhibitors of sulfate uptake.
