Received 5 May 2006/ Accepted 21 June 2006

The accumulated organic form of selenium previously detected by X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analyses in Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 exposed to selenite or selenate was identified as seleno-L-methionine by coupling high-performance liquid chromatography to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.
