AbstractCells must accurately sense and respond to nutrients to compete for resources and establish growth. Phosphate is a critical nutrient source necessary for signaling, energy metabolism, and synthesis of nucleic acids, phospholipids, and cellular metabolites. During phosphate limitation, fungi import phosphate from the environment and liberate phosphate from phosphate-containing molecules in the cell.
