Failure of Micractinium simplicissimum Phosphate Resilience upon Abrupt Re-Feeding of Its Phosphorus-Starved Cultures.

ABSTRACT: Microalgae are naturally adapted to the fluctuating availability of phosphorus (P) to opportunistically uptake large amounts of inorganic phosphate (P_i) and safely store it in the cell as polyphosphate. Hence, many microalgal species are remarkably resilient to high concentrations of external P_i. Here, we report on an exception from this pattern comprised by a failure of the high P_i-resilience in strain Micractinium simplicissimum IPPAS C-2056 normally coping with very high P_i concentrations. This phenomenon occurred after the abrupt re-supplementation of P_i to the M. simplicissimum culture pre-starved of P. This was the case even if P_i was re-supplemented in a concentr
