Are inorganic phosphate able to be removed by bacteria or macro?

Yes, inorganic Phosphate (orthophosphate) can be utilized by algae, bacteria, phosphate removers, etc. Inorganic cannot and cannot be tested for but can break down to form inorganic phosphate which will in turn be taken up by the above (almost as quickly as it is released).
