Phosphate metabolism was studied to determine whether polyphosphate (polyP) pools play a role in the enhanced resistance against Cd<sup>2+</sup> and metal-removal capacity of Cd<sup>2+</sup>-preadapted (CdPA) <i>Methanosarcina acetivorans</i>. Polyphosphate kinase (PPK), exopolyphosphatase (PPX) and phosphate transporter transcript levels and their activities increased in CdPA cells compared to control (Cnt) cells. K<sup>+</sup> inhibited recombinant Ma-PPK and activated Ma-PPX, whereas divalent ...[more]
