Abstract
The comparative toxicity of sodium selenate to five fungal genera isolated from natural systems was studied. Both strain and generic differences in the growth of fungi were noted when sodium selenate was added to sulfur supplemented medium. The production of dimethyselenide gas (DMSe) by these mycoflora did not strictly correlate with their relative toxicities to inorganic selenium.
