Thus, many effective methods for PolyP determination and characterization have now
been developed. These allow PolyP assays not only in extracts, but also in cell homogenates
or even in living cells. The most appropriate information about the PolyP content, polymer-
ization degree and metabolism may be obtained by combining different methods, including
the extraction of PolyPs from cells.
