This entry represents a member of a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). This BGC (BGC0001142) is described by MIBiG as an example of the following biosynthetic class, NRP (non-ribosomal peptide). It includes a member of the tryptoquialanine biosynthetic gene cluster from Penicillium aethiopicum [1]. This family appears to be predominantly found in fungi.
