This entry represents a member of a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). This BGC (BGC0000187) is described by MIBiG as an example of the following biosynthetic class, polyketide, in particular the asukamycin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces nodosus subsp. asukaensis [1]. This family appears to be predominantly found in actinobacteria.
