This family consists of anthrone oxygenases found in bacteria and fungi, and involved in the synthesis of different products. GedH from Aspergillus terreus is part of the gene cluster that mediates the biosynthesis of geodin [1], EncC from Neosartorya fumigata is involved in the biosynthesis of endocrocin [2], and MdpH from Aspergillus nidulans in the biosynthesis of monodictyphenone [3].
