Uranium adsorption by Articulospora tetracladia: can aquatic hyphomycetes be natural bioremediators of uranium contaminated streams?

Uranium concentration in the streams around abandoned uranium mines in central Portugal can be as high as 1.8 mg/L. Herein we assessed the kinetics of uranium adsorption by Articulospora tetracladia mycelium at 200 and 2000 μgU/L over 6h. Uranium adsoption was relatively fast with 18–50% uranium rem...
