If there are plants (there is a patent and a paper describing this in some algae, IDK if it has been replicated or not...) that have preferences (kinetic isotope effect!) for one isotope of uranium over the other you could technically have a uranium enrichment plant made from uranium enrichment...plants.

"By following the fractionation of 233U, 235U, 236U and 238U during the enzymatic reduction of hexavalent U to tetravalent U by the bacterium Shewanella oneidensis, we provide the first direct evidence of the nuclear field shift effect during biologically controlled kinetic isotope fractionation."
