Polyphosphate-accumulating microorganisms in aquatic sediments (2007, background): “These adaptations may provide competitive advantages when inorganic nutrients become limiting (e.g. McDignum et al. 2005, Eixler et al. 2006).”
Integrating micro-algae into wastewater treatment: A review. (2021, background): “Furthermore, in P-rich environments, micro-algae can accumulate P in excess of their metabolic needs and store it as acid-insoluble polyphosphate granules – a mechanism termed ‘luxury uptake’ which only occurs without a prior starvation period (Eixler et al., 2006).”
Luxury phosphorus uptake in microalgae (2019, background): “A high concentration of Pi in the medium is believed to be favorable for microalgal growth (Eixler et al. 2006).”
Luxury uptake of phosphorus by microalgae in waste stabilisation ponds: current understanding and future direction (2014, background): “While ecologists have known that microalgae in lakes can store polyphosphate (Aitchison and Butt 1973; Cembella et al. 1984; Chopin et al. 1997; Eixler et al. 2006) the potential of using this natural phenomenon to optimise for phosphorus removal in algal wastewater treatment ponds has largely been ”
