Isolation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhanced radionuclide transport in plants, indicating potential for phytoremediation.
Spores of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungies have been isolated from the plants collected at the Chernobyl zone. Selection of the plants were done due to their high radionuclides' accumulation ability and AM colonization level as well. These spores were used to start the inocula production for the plant treatment aimed to affect radionuclides trasport. Spores identification was done based on their morphological and molecular features. Three differen AM inocula with high potential to modify 90Sr and 137Cs transport at the phytoremediation experiments were obtained.
