The Extracellular Vesicles Containing Inorganic Polyphosphate of Yeast upon Growth on Hexadecane.

The cell wall of yeast grown on presence of hexadecane as a sole carbon source undergoes structural and functional changes including the formation of specific supramolecular complexes-canals. The canals contain specific polysaccharides and enzymes that provide primary oxidization of alkanes. In addition, inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) was identified in canals.
