This entry represents a member of a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). This BGC (BGC0001590) is described by MIBiG as an example of the following biosynthetic class, polyketide, in particular the formicamycins A-M biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces sp. KY5 [1]. This family appears to be predominantly found in Actinobacteria.
