Popis: The dynamics of the content and the degree of polymerization of polyphosphates (PPs) during the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae VKM Y-1176 was studied by chemical methods and P NMR spectroscopy. The overall PP content of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells growing in orthophosphate-sufficient medium was found to increase until glucose was exhausted in the medium. In the early logarithimic phase, the degree of polymerization of PPs (high-polymeric PPs in particular) fell drastically. Further cultivation of yeast in the glucose-depleted medium led to a decrease in the cellular content of all PP fractions without any considerable shortening of their chain length; by the 24th h, high-polymeric PPs accumulated in the cells. Shortening of PPs against a background of their intense synthesis in yeast cells growing in glucose-and orthophosphate-sufficient medium can be explained by the involvement of so far unknown mechanisms of activation of polyphosphate-depolymerizing enzymes.
