Polyphosphate: A Multifunctional Metabolite in Cyanobacteria and Algae
Polyphosphate (polyP), a polymer of orthophosphate (PO43-) of varying lengths, has been identified in all kingdoms of life. It can serve as a source of chemical bond energy (phosphoanhydride bond) that may have been used by biological systems prior to the evolution of ATP. Intracellular polyP is mai...
