Equilibrium modeling of selenium binding from aqueous solutions by Candida utilis ATCC 9950 yeasts.

3 Biotech 2018 September
The study investigated the effectiveness of selenium binding from its salt solution by Candida utilis ATCC 9950 yeast biomass cultured on a medium prepared from the agro-food industry wastes, containing an available source of carbon and nitrogen. Selenium binding by C. utilis yeast strain after 48 h of culturing at 28 °C from aqueous solutions with the addition of 30 mg Se/L reached a value of 2.28 mg Se/g of yeast biomass. The kinetics of selenium binding by the yeasts showed a better fit for the pseudo-second-order kinetic model compared to the pseudo-first-order one. Accumulation stability data were analyzed using the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The presence of competing anions such as SO 4 2 - , and HPO 4 2 - at a concentration of 0.5 mM resulted in about 35% reduction of selenium binding by the examined C. utilis strain. FTIR analysis showed that sulfur compounds were involved in selenium biosorption by the yeast. Compounds containing ammonium groups appeared to be very important for selenium binding. The results of the study demonstrated that the yeast can be used to effectively bind selenium from aqueous solution. At the same time, it gives the opportunity to obtain a biomass rich in this deficient element, which can also be used in dietary supplement production.
