Selenium-enriched escherichia coli

1. Selenium-enriched escherichia coli increases semo-1 in worms.

   “The levels of the Se-binding protein SEMO-1, which serves as a Se buffer in C. elegans, were elevated in the group fed on Se-enriched bacteria.”

1. Selenium-enriched escherichia coli has no effect on fecundity in worms.

   “The fecundity of the worms was not affected by the Se-enriched bacteria, even though the production of progeny was somewhat delayed.”

1. Selenium-enriched escherichia coli decreases body size in worms.

   “worms fed on Se-enriched bacteria were smaller and slimmer, even though their food intake was not diminished.”

1. Selenium-enriched escherichia coli decreases neurodegenerative disease in worms.

   “The occurrence of knots and ruptures within the axons of cholinergic neurons was lowered in aged nematodes provided with Se-enriched bacteria.”
