The metabolic role of intracellular inorganic polyphosphate during the synchronous growth of Chlorella pyrenoidosa

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The demonstration in algae and bacteria of the presence of a high molecular weight polymer of inorganic phosphate has raised questions concerning the metabolic role of the polymer and the mechanism(s) by which it is synthesized and utilized. The purpose of the research described in this dissertation was to determine the relationship of inorganic polyphosphate to the total metabolism of phosphorus by C. pyranoidosa.
