An in vitro detectable polyphosphate-synthesising activity was characterised using two independent assay systems in extracts of the yeast Candida humicola G-1. Its properties were similar to those of a range of bacterial polyphosphate kinase enzymes. PCR amplification of C. humicola genomic DNA using universal primers for bacterial polyphosphate kinase genes yielded a product whose translated sequence showed up to 34% amino acid similarity to the bacterial enzyme.
