Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. P. aeruginosa PA-W23 degrades PCL using Pap1 (A) PCL clear zone assay after 4 days testing P. aeruginosa PA-W23, its derivative Δpap1 mutant, and the complemented mutant (Δpap1 with pap1_noSP expressed from miniTn7 transposon); mean and SD of 3 repeats are represented; ****p < 0.0001. Empty vector (EV) controls can be seen in Figure S4. (B) PCL clear zone assay after 4 days testing PA14 WT, WT with EV, and overexpressor (WT with Pap1_noSP) and PAO1 WT, WT with EV, and overexpressor (WT with Pap1_noSP); mean and SD of 3 biological replicates are represented. Statistical analysis was done by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s correction. ****p < 0.0001; ns, non-significant. (C) SDS-PAGE gel image of secreted protein fractions from P. aeruginosa PA14, PA-W23, and the complemented Δpap1 mutant, all carrying a miniTn7 insertion to induce the expression of pap1 with the lacIq-Ptac system. The secreted protein fractions were obtained from cell-free culture supernatants of these strains after growing in the presence or absence of 1 mM IPTG for 18 h (as detailed in the STAR Methods). The red arrow indicates the band corresponding to Pap1 (theoretical molecular weight of 30.7 kDa). One representative image out of 3 biological replicates is shown. (D) SDS-PAGE gel image of secreted protein fractions from P. aeruginosa PAO1 and its mutant derivative ΔxcpA (T2SS defective), both carrying a miniTn7 insertion to induce the expression of pap1 with the lacIq-Ptac system. The secreted protein fractions were obtained from cell-free culture supernatants of these strains after growing in the presence or absence of IPTG 1 mM for 18 h (as detailed in the STAR Methods). The red arrow indicates the band corresponding to Pap1. One representative image out of 3 biological replicates is shown.

Transcriptional response to PCL exposure (A) Volcano plot representing dRNA-seq results from comparing global transcription in the presence of PCL in starvation media (10% LB). According to the dRNA- seq results, 65 genes were upregulated (red) and 36 were downregulated (blue) more than 1 logFC in the presence of PCL. Genes linked to fatty acid metabolism are highlighted in green. (B) Expression of pap1 in the presence and absence of PCL. Comparison of constitutively expressed housekeeping gene rpoB also shown. ns, non-significant.
