FIG. 1.
This diagram provides a representation of the pathways relevant to this study and discussed in the text by which (i) PE is degraded by PlcB and lipases to generate LCFAs, (ii) LCFAs are transported through the inner and outer membrane of P. aeruginosa, (iii) LCFAs are metabolized via β-oxidation to acetyl-CoA, and (iv) acetyl-CoA is processed by the glyoxylate shunt to gene rate energy.
