Luxury uptake

P. antarctica in Antarctic waters. These factors include growth limitation/co-limitation by other resources, such as zinc (Coale et al. 2003) or vitamin B12 (Bertrand et al. in press) luxury uptake of iron integrated effects of prior changes in availability of iron and/or light physiological...

Numerous algae, cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria are known to take up phosphate at sufficient supply far beyond their physiological needs ( luxurious uptake ), and to store it inside in the form of polyphosphate ( volutin granula ) which can make up up to 15% of total bacterial cell mass. In these polyphosphates, the phosphoryl units are linked by acid anhydride linkages which are synthesized through polyphosphate kinase, according to Reaction (1)...
