Starvation Induces Extracellular Accumulation of Polyphosphate in <i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i> to Inhibit Macropinocytosis, Phagocytosis, and Exocytosis

<i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i> is a soil-dwelling unicellular eukaryote that accumulates extracellular polyphosphate (polyP). At high cell densities, when the cells are about to overgrow their food supply and starve, the corresponding high extracellular concentrations of polyP allow the...
