Popis: SUMMARY Histochemically monitored uptake experiments, using strips of fungal sheath dissected from beech (Fagus sylvatica) mycorrhizas and incubated in phosphate solutions under a range of conditions, show that accumulation of phosphate is closely paralleled by increases in the number and size of polyphosphate-containing metachromatic granules, suggesting that these granules represent a major pool of storage phosphate.
