Sodium tellurite is an intermediate in the extraction of the element, tellurium; it is a product obtained from anode slimes and is a precursor to tellurium.

Middlebrook broth is commonly used in the preparation of inocula for antimicrobial assays, biochemical tests ( arylsufatase and tellurite reduction ), and maintenance of stock strains.
13.
Tellurous acid forms " tellurite " salts containing the anion TeO . Other tellurium cations include, which consists of two fused tellurium rings and the polymeric.
14.
The tellurite reduction is colorimetrically indicated by brown colonies for most " Cornyebacteria " species or by a black halo around the " C . diphtheriae " colonies.
15.
In slightly acidic conditions, "'hydrogen tellurite "'ion,, is prevalent; with more acidic conditions tellurous acid, H 2 TeO 3, is prevalent.
16.
"R . binae " can grow in the presence of the antibiotic compounds lincomycin and potassium tellurite, but not in the presence of 1 % sodium lactate, troleandomycin, lithium chloride or sodium butyrate.
17.
"' Cesbronite "'is a copper tellurite hydroxide mineral with the chemical formula Cu 5 ( TeO 3 ) 2 ( OH ) 6 ?2 H 2 O . It is colored green and its crystals are orthorhombic dipyramidal.
18.
It does not produce oxidase, coagulase, clumping factor, fibrinolysin, thermostable nuclease, tellurite reductase, gelatinase, protease, urease, arginine dihydrolase, alpha-or beta-haemeolysins, ornithine decarboxylase, acetyl-methylcarbinol, or beta-galactosidase.
19.
To accurately identify " C . diphtheriae ", a Gram stain is performed to show Gram-positive, highly tellurite agar, allows all " Corynebacteria " ( including " C . diphtheriae " ) to reduce tellurite to metallic tellurium.
