Popis: A chemical investigation of a Chinese Pseudomonas aurantiaca strain has yielded a new benzoquinone (4) and furanone (5), in addition to the known dialkylresorcinols 1 and 2. Extensive decomposition studies on the major metabolite 1 produced an additional furanone derivative (6), a hydroxyquinone (7), and two unusual resorcinol and hydroxyquinone dimers (8 and 9). Structures were elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in combination with tandem mass spectrometry analysis. These studies illustrate the potential of artifacts as a source of additional chemical diversity. Compounds 1 and 2 showed moderate antibacterial activity against a panel of Gram-positive pathogens, while the antibacterial activities of the artifacts (4–9) were reduced.
