Uptake and translocation of uranium by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi under monoxenic culture conditions... 

The monoxenic culture of AM fungi means the contaminant-free in vitro culture between a root organ and a Glomalean species. 

Experimental design model monoxenic culture in a two-compartment system... 

Fig. 1. (A) Illustration of a two-compartment monoxenic culture system allowing the spatial separation of a central compartment (CC) from a neighbouring external compartment (EC) (B). The MSR medium was solid in the CC and liquid in the EC. The CC was filled with the gel to reach a layer extending 2 mm above the edge of the 50-mm Petri plate, in order to facilitate h) hae and/or roots to cross the partition between the two compartments.

Fundamental information on the interactions between AM fungi and U is reported and discussed in this chapter. The monoxenic culture system was shown to be convenient to investigate the processes of uptake and translocation of U by AM fungi.
