Increasing Phosphorus Uptake Efficiency by Phosphorus-Starved Microalgae for Municipal Wastewater Post-Treatment

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Four microalgal species, Chlorella vulgaris, Botryococcus braunii, Ankistrodesmus falcatus, and Tetradesmus obliquus were studied for enhanced phosphorus removal from municipal wastewater after their exposure to phosphorus starvation.

A novel mammalian glucokinase exhibiting exclusive inorganic polyphosphate dependence in the cell nucleus

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2017
Background: Hexokinase and glucokinase enzymes are ubiquitously expressed and use ATP and ADP as substrates in mammalian systems and a variety of polyphosphate substrates and/or ATP in some eukaryotic and microbial systems.

Optimized Protocol for Preservation of Human Platelet Samples for Fluorometric Polyphosphate Quantification

open access: yesMethods and Protocols, 2023
Platelet polyphosphate (polyP) can be conveniently quantified by exploiting a recent methodological breakthrough using 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). However, the preservation of these biological samples has not yet been standardized.

Pleiotropic effects of PipX, PipY, or RelQ overexpression on growth, cell size, photosynthesis, and polyphosphate accumulation in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The cyanobacterial protein PipY belongs to the Pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP)-binding proteins (PLPBP/COG0325) family of pyridoxal-phosphate-binding proteins, which are represented in all three domains of life.

Unusual polyphosphate inclusions observed in a marine Beggiatoa strain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Sulfide-oxidizing bacteria of the genus Beggiatoa are known to accumulate phosphate intracellularly as polyphosphate but little is known about the structure and properties of these inclusions.
