while working with a white-rot species we found that the (in vitro) retention of these elements was linked to the presence of guaiacol derivatives. However, we belive that heavy metals (among other compounds) were sequestrated by a modified extracellular EPS matrix. Do you think this type of retention may be a previous step to uptake?

It may be considered uptake depending on the method you use, but I would rather define it as removal.
