Polyphosphate (poly-P) is a chain of phosphate moieties linked through high-energy phosphoanhydride bond, and it plays an important role in regulatory functions in prokaryotic cells. Isotope effects of bacterial synthesis and degradation of poly-P may provide important insights into the roles of poly-P in environmental phosphorus (P) cycling. In this research, we investigated the enzymatic degradation of poly-P by cell-free enzyme solutions and bacterial cells (Escherichia coli JM103 and Pseudomonas putida KT2440) and analyzed phosphate oxygen isotope ratios (delta O-18(P)), enzyme activity, and dynamics of orthophosphate (P-i) and poly-P. Cell-free enzyme reaction results show that both acid and alkaline phosphatase enzymes are capable of catalyzing poly-P degradation, albeit with different efficiencies of >70 and
