DNA as a Phosphate Storage Polymer and the Alternative Advantages of Polyploidy for Growth or Survival

Haloferax volcanii uses extracellular DNA as a source for carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous. However, it can also grow to a limited extend in the absence of added phosphorous, indicating that it contains an intracellular phosphate storage molecule. As Hfx. volcanii is polyploid, it was investigated...
