Inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) consist of linear chains of orthophosphate residues,
linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. They are evolutionarily old biopolymers …

Polyphosphate (polyP) is an evolutionary ancient inorganic molecule widespread in biology,
exerting a broad range of biological activities. The intracellular polymer serves as an energy …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis can persist for decades in the human host. Stringent response
pathways involving inorganic polyphosphate [poly (P)], which is synthesized and hydrolyzed …

Polyphosphate (poly-P) is a polymer of phosphate residues synthesized and in some cases
accumulated by microorganisms, where it plays crucial physiological roles such as the …

Bacteria synthesize inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) in response to a wide variety of
stresses, and production of polyP is essential for stress response and survival in many …

Inorganic polyphosphate (poly P) has been postulated to play a regulatory role in the
transition to bacterial persistence. In bacteria, poly P balance in the cell is maintained by the …

Polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) belong mostly to Proteobacteria and
Actinobacteria and are quite divergent. Under aerobic conditions, they accumulate …

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) from wastewater relies on the preferential
selection of active polyphosphate‐accumulating organisms (PAO) in the underlying bacterial …

In bacteria, adaptation to changing environmental conditions is often mediated by two-
component signal transduction systems. In the prototypical case, a specific stimulus is …

The Corynebacterium glutamicum gene cg2091 is encoding a polyphosphate (PolyP)/ATP-
dependent glucokinase (PPGK). Previous work demonstrated the association of PPGK to …
