abstract = {Polyphosphates have occurred in living cells early in
evolution and microalgae also contain these important
polymers in their cells. Progress in research of
polyphosphate metabolism of these ecologically as well
asbiotechnologically important microorganisms is hampered by
the lack of rapid quantification methods. Experiments with
the green alga model Chlorella vulgaris presented here
compared polyphosphate extraction in water,
methanol-chloroform, and phenol-chloroform followed by
polyphosphate purification by binding to silica columns or
ethanol precipitation. The phenol-chloroform extraction of
C. vulgaris followed by ethanol precipitation of
polyphosphate was shown to be superior to the other tested
method variants. Recovery of added polyphosphate standard to
algal biomass showed that the method is accurate. Using this
biochemical assay as a validated reference, we show that
2-dimensional, confocal Raman microscopy can serve as a
linear proxy for polyphosphate in C. vulgaris with R2 up to
0.956. With this, polyphosphate quantificationcan be
shortened by use of Raman microscopy from days to hours and,
additionally, information about intracellular distribution
of polyphosphate and heterogeneity among individual cells in
algal culture can be obtained. This offers new insights into
the dynamics and role of these polymers crucial for
phosphorus uptake and storage. This analytical capability is
of particular practical importance because algae aid
phosphorus sequestration from wastewater and the thus
enriched biomass may serve as organic fertilizer. Both these
applications have a strong potential in a future
sustainable, circular bioeconomy.},
