    The 2-methylcitrate cycle and the glyoxylate cycle are central metabolic pathways in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, enabling the organism to utilize organic acids such as propionate and acetate during infection. Here, we show that these cycles are linked through enzymatic redundancy, with isocitrate lyase (AceA) exhibiting secondary 2-methylisocitrate lyase activity. Furthermore, we use a combination of structural analyses, enzyme kinetics, metabolomics, and targeted mutation of PrpB<sub>Pa</sub> to demonstrate that whereas loss of PrpB function impairs growth on propionate, the promiscuous 2-methylisocitrate lyase activity of AceA compensates for this by mitigating the accumulation of toxic 2-methylcitrate cycle intermediates. Our findings suggest that simultaneous inhibition of PrpB and AceA could present a robust antimicrobial strategy to target P. aeruginosa in propionate-rich environments, such as the cystic fibrosis airways. Our results emphasize the importance of understanding pathway interconnections in the development of novel antimicrobial agents.
