NON-PHOTOSYNTHETIC MICRO-ORGANISMS ENRICHED WITH ORGANIC SELENIUM FROM SELENO-HYDROXYACID COMPOUNDS, AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF IN THE FIELDS OF NUTRITION AND COSMETICS

摘要

The invention relates to the enrichment of non-photosynthetic micro-organisms with organic selenium, and more particularly with selenomethionine, from a compound of the seleno-hydroxyacid type such as 2-hydroxy-4-methylseleno-butanoic acid in the (D, L) form or in the form of an enantiomer, salt, ester, or amide derivative of said compound, and to the use of micro-organisms, particularly bacteria thus enriched in the fields of animal or human nutrition, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals.
