Abstract excerpt
Intracellular biopolymers serve versatile functions, allowing microbes to adapt to fluctuating environmental conditions. The metabolic interdependence of dual biopolymers polyphosphate (polyP) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a defining feature of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs), the key agents enabling enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). Beyond EBPR, PAOs accumulating both polyP and PHA...
