Abstract Selenium (Se) is an important trace element for many organisms, including humans, but is bioaccumulative and toxic at higher levels than homeostatic. Selenium deficiency and toxicity are problems worldwide. The mines, coal-fired power plants, oil refineries and agriculture are important examples o f anthropogenic sources, generation ofpolluted water and wastewater. Due to the harmfulness to the human health and ecotoxicity, the concentration o f selenium in drinking water and wastewater must be controlled. This paper provides an overview o f biological treatment technologies for the removal of selenium from water.
