ABSTRACT
Here we provide an unprecedented biofactory where fluorescent dye-like complex xanthenes could be produced in an engineered Escherichia coli. Feeding the strain with toluquinol or hydroquinones resulted in production of novel "unnatural" natural products including four arthrocolins embedded with indolyltriphenyl quaternary carbons. Arthrocolins A-C potently inhibited various human cancer cell lines including paclitaxel-resistant cell line A549/Taxol and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and immensely restored the sensitivity of intractable fluconazole-resistant human pathogen Candida albicans to fluconazole.
