Abstract Selenium is an essential trace element for organisms, and selenomethionine(SeMet) is one primary chemical form in which animals obtain selenium from natural food. To screen candidate genes associated with SeMet biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis, in this study, 6 strains of B. subtilis were isolated and identified from selenium-enriched soil samples collected in Enshi. The selenium tolerance of B. subtilis of BsES(B. subtilis from Enshi) was determined to be stronger than those of BsJZ(B. subtilis from Jingzhou) and the type strain of Bs168(B. subtilis subsp. subtilis str. 168) using different doses of Na₂SeO₃, and 0.1 mg/mL Na₂SeO₃ was determined to be the optimal additive dose for selenium-enriched culture. High performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS) analysis showed that the SeMet synthesis ability of strain BsES08 was the strongest, with a synthesis amount of 8.90 µg/10⁸CFU, which was 39.47% and 34.33% higher than that of the control strains Bs168 and BsJZ, respectively. qPCR was used to comparatively analyze the mRNA expression levels of 31 SeMet synthesis metabolism-related genes in the 6 isolated strains. Results showed that the expression levels of tusA2, tusA1, TrxRB, thiS, nifS, nasD, mrp, mmuM and metE3 genes in strain BsES08 were higher than those in the other strains, suggesting that these genes might be related to SeMet synthesis. Recombinant B. subtilis of BsES08-tusA1 and BsES08-TrxRB were constructed using the pHT43 expression vector to overexpress tusA1 and TrxRB gene, respectively. The SeMet synthesis amounts of the recombinant strains were 10.71 and 11.17 µg/10⁸CFU, respectively, which were 24.90% and 30.23% higher than those of BsES08. In conclusion, a selenium-enriched strain B. subtilis, BsES08, was isolated from selenium-enriched soil in Enshi, which had a high tolerance to inorganic selenium and a high efficiency of organic selenium conversion. Nine candidate genes related to SeMet synthesis were identified. This study provides microbial resources and functional genes for the development and utilization of selenium-enriched probiotics.
