This study investigated the factors affecting selenite uptake in Rahnella aquatilis HX2 and found that selenite uptake was concentration- and time-dependent, and pH-dependent. The water channel protein AqpZ, sulfite, and the Na+/H+ antiporter NhaA were identified as important regulators of selenite uptake.
Microbial transformation of selenite [Se(IV)] to elemental selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) is known to be an important process for removing toxic soluble selenium (Se) oxyanions and recovery of Se from the environment as valuable nanoparticles. However, the mechanism of selenite uptake by microorganisms, the first step through which Se exerts its cellular function, remains not well studied. In this study, the effects of selenite concentration, time, pH, metabolic inhibitors, and anionic analogues on selenite uptake in Rahnella aquatilis HX2 were investigated. Selenite uptake by R. aquatilis HX2 was concentration- and time-dependent, and its transport activity was significantly dependent on pH. In addition, selenite uptake in R. aquatilis HX2 was significantly inhibited by the aquaporin inhibitor AgNO3 and sulfite (SO32-), and partially inhibited by carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) treatments. Three mutants with in-frame deletions of aqpZ, glpF, and nhaA genes were constructed. The transport assay showed that the water channel protein AqpZ, and not GlpF, was a key channel of selenite uptake by R. aquatilis HX2, and sulfite and selenite had a common uptake pathway. In addition, the Na+/H+ antiporter NhaA is also involved in selenite uptake in R. aquatilis HX2. [GRAPHICS]
