Divergence of PPK1 structure and polyphosphate accumulation patterns in wastewater bacteria

This reasoning chain explores the discrepancy between structural similarity of PPK1 proteins and observed polyphosphate accumulation in different bacterial lineages, particularly the distinct clustering of Tetrasphaera spp. despite verified polyP accumulation.
