Research title: “mechanisms of simultaneous reduction of metalloids selenite and tellurite in bacillus sp. Y3”.

• A novel bacteria Bacillus sp. Y3 (Accession no: PRJNA561058) was discovered and reported in NCBI. This bacterial strain had a high reduction ability for Se(IV) and Te(IV) together and alone.
• After proteomic analysis a protein TrxR was discovered and reported for its reduction ability for Se(IV) and Te(IV) for the first time.
• Article: “Muhammad Yasir, Yuxiao Zhang, Zixiao Xu, Meizhong Luo, Gejiao Wang (2020). NAD(P)H dependent thioredoxindisulfide reductase TrxR is essential for tellurite and selenite reduction and resistance in Bacillus sp. Y3. FEMS Microbiol. Ecol. (I.F.5 = 4.09, accepted).
• BioSeNPs and TeNPs were produced by Bacillus sp. Y3, which were collected and purified for the checked for their role in the adsorption and removal of industrial dyes.
• Article: “Adsorption removal of multiple dyes by biogenic selenium and tellurium nanorods produced by Bacillus sp. Y3.” (In progress).
