Osmotic-stress-induced synthesis and degradation of inorganic polyphosphates in the alga phaeodactylum- tricornutum

The potential role of inorganic polyphosphates in the response of algal cells to osmotic stress was investigated. We show that changes in polyphosphate metabolism of algae induced by osmotic stress can be easily determined by measuring the metachromatic shift of toluidine blue produced by polyphosph...
