Effect of selenite on the transcription of fumarate reductase and enzymes involved in Painter-type reactions. An overnight culture of E. cloacae Z0206 was adjusted to OD600 = 1 and diluted into fresh broth (1%). When the culture reached the stationary phase, a 2 ml sample of the culture was removed (as a Se-free control). A 500 μL aliquot of the sodium selenite stock solution (1 M) was then added, and the culture was incubated for another 120 min. Samples were collected at 30 min, 60 min and 120 min after the addition of selenite. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (n = 3).
