TABLE 3.

Effect of polyphosphate on number of nuclei

Polyphosphate inhibits proliferation but not growth. The cells were stained with DAPI, and the nuclei were counted by microscopy. The values are means ± S.E., minimum n ≥ 4.

Condition	Percentage of cells			Nuclei/100 cells
Condition	With one nucleus	With two nuclei	With three or more nuclei	Nuclei/100 cells
Ax2 mid-log	75 ± 2	23 ± 2	2 ± 1	125 ± 2
Ax2 stationary	62 ± 4^a	32 ± 4^b	6 ± 1^b	147 ± 4^b
Ax2 + 150 μm polyP	41 ± 4^a	35 ± 1^a	24 ± 4^c	216 ± 5^a

^a p < 0.01 compared with mid-log cells (paired two-tailed t tests).

^b p < 0.05 compared with mid-log cells (paired two-tailed t tests).

^c p < 0.001 compared with mid-log cells (paired two-tailed t tests).
