Abstract excerpt
Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a ubiquitous molecule found across all domains of life. Although implicated in diverse cellular processes, including phosphate storage, stress responses, and pathogenicity, loss of polyP synthesis typically causes only mild growth defects. Here, we demonstrate an essential physiological role for polyP synthesis during recovery from phosphate starvation, when cells transition...
